| About | JOHN (JACK) CHARLES WOMACK passed away in February 1968, at the age of 22 years. His cause of death was a rare form of meningitis. His brothers, Hank and Neil, and sister, Nancy, are all still living in various areas of the U.S. Hank shared this information…..“My wife and I named our daughter, Jacy, after Jack. She is 12 now and, hopefully, will have some of Jack’s qualities. As long as you remember someone and think of them, I believe they are always with you.” Randy McNerlin remembers the following….. “Jack’s brother gave him an old yellow Cushman motor scooter when we were 10. We tinkered with it, got it started, then promptly scared ourselves learning to drive it. Jack loved the independence and freedom it gave him to feel the wind in his face. He patiently tolerated my need to be outdoors and would go on long hunts with me without much interest or complaint, However, occasionally he’d catch me taking something too seriously and chide ‘and you would be the great white hunter, would you?’ His own tastes were more refined…stealing peaches from backyards at night…finding the most ‘inside’ interpretation of a humorous situation and then laughing like a madman until emotional contagion snared the rest of us and making us laugh over something we didn’t quite get. He was always a little smarter…a step a head but was never mean spirited. I think that was what those of us who loved him appreciated about him.” |
