Quinn Morris left a message on April 14, 2012:
I first met Jack when he was managing Arby's at Apple Blossom Mall. I was a store manager at an adjacent business and Jack and I spoke often(almost daily) of the work-a-day things that affected us both. It was during those conversations that I quickly learned that Jack was not just a fast food manager, but a man who had experienced many things in life that molded him into the man I was lucky enough to be talking to. It was his life experiences that made him such an engaging person to talk to and learn from. His smile and friendly demeanor were disarming and made me want to know more.I can't tell you how sad and distraught I was to hear it was Jack who lost his life. But Jack, I want to thank you for sharing your life with me when we had the chance to share it together. I am a better person for having known you and I appreciate the wealth of knowledge and insight you shared with me. God speed Jack Taylor!

Ahhh, Jack...... I remember you just so well from our schools and bus riding and goofing off when we should have paid attention to our teachers.... We were(are) still kids.

Oh how you loved your wife and your family; and such a PROUD "poppy". You are walking among the best of the angels now and singing louder than ever ! God will take great care of you, Jack !!! I will truly miss you here on this earth but until we meet again...... special love from my heart to yours !!!
