I love you Dad–say hi to Uncle Pete and your mom and dad for me.
We will always remember your beautiful smile. Just sad that we were not able to see you more over the past years.
You will always have a warm place in our hearts.
Jack Woolard was a kind, caring and quiet hero. He served our nation with courage. He loved life and shared his sense of humor with all he met. Always smiling, Jack was a loving, loyal husband and friend to many. He was always willing to help others; he asked for little and gave much. His mountain friends will miss his joking and laughter, his gentle presence…and his potato salad.
Love to Nancy and family, Jerry and Sally Gross. Raleigh, NC.
My sincere sympathy to Nancy and Jack’s family. Love his picture and great smile. Mary
I know you are in heaven with God and the Angels.
