I wrote this when Christy debit passed away… 10 years ago! I find myself feeling the same way today! This week I’ve lost 3 good men in my life! First Josh Kempsell awesome young man for sure, because his mother (Janie ) and bob Kempsel raise him and Robbie Kempsell to be just that !

Number 2 was joe Gillispie (Susan Seale Gillispie) joe influenced me as a younger man just as I moved to Lubbock! 21 years ago. Lost and starting a new life/ business! The saying iron sharpens iron is true! Joe always showed up or called when I needed him! He didn’t know it but God used him to provide for me. One year the boys wouldn’t have had Christmas except for a job he needed done! The check came just in time to cover Christmas for them! Probably one of the best men I’ve ever had the privilege to know!
3. Was jack wordlow. Christy Wardlow White. He was a man that probably didn’t know how he influenced me. As a young boy he would let me fish in his lake! A pro ledge most people didn’t have. As my Grandad Jackson was helping build his house, maw-maw Jackson would take me fishing! I caught the biggest bass I’ve ever caught out there! I still have a picture of it today!

So as you celebrate these great men this week! Please remember that we and those around us have no promise of tomorrow! So live your lives like there is no tomorrow! Go see those men and women that you should hug their neck and tell them what they mean to you!

I have lost many friends and family over the years to many to list! My heart breaks every time I read about one!

In closeing try to be the man or woman that God put you here for! Tell his ( Jesus’s) story, so they know where you are going!

For those that read to the end thank you for your time! I love y’all…

I just want you to know, that when Michael and I started seeing each other, and I started going to church with him, your momma and daddy sat in front of us every Sunday…and your sweet daddy would pat your mommas hair down every so often. He would just run his hand down it, like he loves her so much. ❤️ I sat behind them, and thought, “Gosh, I hope that we have that love some day.” Now we do…but I sure will miss that. 🥰 I truly loved him, and I will miss hugging his neck. Continued prayers for you, and your family. Jack will truly be missed!!! ❤️

Jack was the first guy outside the family who signed a paycheck for me, after we moved to Shamrock, where my dad had grown up. I was 12 when I first worked for him, pulling big rocks off the fields..

I remember what a good boss he was even now, and a lot of fun to be out there with.
I remember him telling me once that he "loved the smell of a clean-burning pickup" while we were kicking up dust down one of the roads. (At some point way later on, I realized he was kidding -- the old pickup we were hauling the rocks with was burning a little oil.)

It so happens that I was thinking about him only yesterday, when responding to a friend's post asking for a list of everybody's first seven jobs. (Mine got me to about age 14.)

I still remember fishing out there at the pond, too. And how welcoming he and the family were.

He really was, and is, one of the best guys I ever knew. And still know. I just hate that it was so long since I'd seen him. But I know I will again.

Prayers for comfort and peace for your family. Jack was one of the best. He treated me and all of Christy’s friends like his own. There were several of us usually for many sleepovers. I’m sure he and Cathy were sleep deprived, but you never knew it. Lots of laughter and fun! Great memories! He will be missed!

I met Jack & Cathy in the winter of 1966, I was 13 yrs old. I spent the weekend @ the old house with all of the Wardlow's & my brother Marty. I remember going rabbit hunting one night in Jack's 65 or 66 Chevy truck, going thru the pastures shining the headlights @ the unsuspecting rabbits. Walter H, Myself & Bobby Don were in the back of the truck with shotguns, doing pretty well, the way I remember it, until Bobby shot the hood on Jack's truck. Not once but several times. Needless to say, Jack took the gun away from him, so Walt & I finished the nite out with the guns. Did I mention that it was below 20 degrees??? Jack & Marty rode in the truck all nite with the heater on hollering SHOOT.
What a memory for me. I was welcomed as family & I felt like I was. What a great group of people who I'll always cherish. Uncle Jack, you will be missed by more people than you might know.

Though many came afterward, Jack was my first favorite person in Shamrock. I was fresh out of seminary, and he broke the ice of anxiety and doubt on my heart. I thank God with tears for him.

Hey Christy, it’s Toby. My condolences to you and your family. I just read Jack’s obituary. He was such a kind-hearted, funny man to be around. Years ago, when I was a kid working at Adams Hardware, he’d come in on Saturday afternoons. Sometime he didn’t need anything. He just wanted to visit. Life was so much simpler then.
