Where do I start about my friend Jack. He was a very special man who I loved dearly as well as everyone else at Amerisist. When I would go into his room he would say "Now who is this?" I would simply take his hand and he would say "oh yes, This is Hot Hands" and then laugh that scratchy laugh of his. He use to tell me no matter what the wheather was outside I always had hot hands. I know he is watching over all of us now and for once my hands were cold the day we laid him to rest. I remember his neice Becky coming to me at the cemetery and saying " Are your hands hot or cold today?" In Jacks eyes they were probably still hot. I will greatly miss you jack and I Love You Dearly. My deepest sympathy goes to his family.
Love, Missy (Amerisist)

Jack was a resident at Amerisist of Culpeper who everyone loved. I loved jack right away! Jack was always telling stories and always wanted to listen to ours! He always brighten my day up! Rings the call bell, baby what you doing, just making sure you were ok! Jack had nicknames for some of the girls, I was the shower girl, man he loved to give me a hard time on his bath night. He called all the girls ''Baby.'' He loved his sweets and milkshakes that family and friends always brought him!! Jack would always think we worked to hard so wanted us to come and sit and relax in his room! He loved when we watched T.V. with him as he calls everything out! Jack would give us Hershey Kisses out of his wooden bucket, here take a handleful. i miss jack very much. Its not the same at work without him. Jack was funny, sweet, caring, loving all of the above. He was a wonderful man and I'am thankful that Becky shared him with us! The residents miss and loved jack dearly. He'd always want cottage cheese or a tuna sandwich, and grilled cheese. he loved eating with the girls when we ate, didnt like eating with the other residents. :) i miss him

I'd also like to wish my deepest condolences and sympathy to his loving niece Becky.
He loved Becky very much and made that clear to everyone.

Jack was a resident I quickly began to love. He always had all us girls laughing and eating his "chocolate chips" (Hershey kisses). He always told us wonderful stories and wanted to hear ours as well. I can hear him now calling out for "Baby", which was all of us. He loved his Ronald who's name is really Rhonda and she loved him dearly just as all of us did. I can't forget about his milkshakes that is niece would bring him and he would drink a little then ask "baby" to put it in his icebox for later. He was a wonderful man to have at our facility. I miss him!

Jack was one of my favorite residents at Amerisist. He was such a kind, sweet, caring, and very funny guy. To say that I'll miss him is a great understatement. Things will never be the same for me at work from now on without him there to brighten my day. Some of my fondest memories of Jack will always include the time spent watching "The Wheel" as he'd call it. Of course he was referring to The Wheel of Fortune ~ his favorite television show. I'm sure that years from now I'll still remember how Jack would refer to all of the girls as "Baby" with the exception of one who he referred to as simply "Ronald"...a nickname for one of his favorite girls...Rhonda. :) There's no doubt I'll also remember how he had a big wooden container of Hershey's Kisses in his room and he'd always say, "Take some kisses. Be sure to take a handful!" Everyone loved Jack. How could ya not?

The following is a nursery rhyme that Jack loved to recite...especially whenever "Ronald" would prompt him by saying the words "Jack Sprat" ;)

"Jack Sprat could eat no fat
His wife could eat no lean
And so betwixt the two of them
They licked the platter clean"

I'd also like to wish my deepest condolences and sympathy to his loving niece Becky. Jack was a very lucky Uncle and he surely knew it. He made it very clear how much he dearly loved her.

Mr. Chambers was my supervisor at Hill Directory in the 1950's in my first full time job after graduating from high school. He was a kind and patient boss with a good sense of humor. I learned much from him which was a great benefit during the 31 years I worked for the National Geographic Magazine.
