I'm so sorry to hear about Jack's passing. He taught me much about funeral directing but he also gave me many more important lessons about life. When I taught at the New England Institute, I taught the "Jack Watkins method" of funeral directing, and I still get many comments from former students about the things they never did or tried at their own funeral homes and how well it works. God Bless you, Jack.

Jack and my Dad, Dick Crandell, were friends for many years; sharing their enjoyment of golf and cards. Many times I talked with Jack and I always found him to be friendly and interesting to talk to whenever I saw him. My prayers are with you and I pray God lifts your hearts and gives you love to see you through your hour of need. God Bless!

I am so sorry for your loss. Jack was a very good friend to our family at times of sorrow and it is with deep sympathy that I hear of his passing. He helped me thru the loss of both of my parents, my husband and my brother. I wish I had known about his military service I would have loved to thank him for his service to this nation. He will be sorely missed by the entire community of Sylvania Ohio, as well as others I am sure. Please accept my deepest sorrow. I am sending prayers for the comforting arms of the Lord to be with you now. May His peace be upon you and your heart lightened by knowing that Jack is with the Lord and waiting there for his loved ones to join him. 2Corinthians 5:8 K.J.V....We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. May God Bless and keep you safe until you meet with Him.
