To Jack’s Family,
Jack and I worked together at AAA Hoosier Motor Club. I was his supervior on the second shift. We worked in the heat,cold,rain,sleet and snow. Jack was never a complainer. We shared many a meal (he was a great cook) with a beer accent. He was the best friend anyone could ever have. My wife Stephanie and I will miss him very much. Jack was a totally great person and one of the kindest human beings we’ve ever met. We feel priveledged to have had him as a friend. Our lives have been enriched with his friendship. We will miss him.

Jack Simon,
I am certain that you are in heaven now.
I have shared, and reflected on the memories that you gave me, after you left AAA Hoosier Motor Club, a few short years ago.
I hope that you had the opportunity to share as many stories with soldiers deploying to and from Camp Atterbury, as you did with me. I have never meet such an interesting and kind person as you.
GOD BLESS,
Sylvia Luker says
Jack’s knowledge in the Tranportation Deparment (in all areas) was outstanding.
