Dear Family,
Jack was so full of life and love that he could light up a room. Although we will miss him being here with us, he will forever live in our hearts and memories. He has finished the race and I know he will be waiting and cheering the rest of us on until we meet him at the finish line. We love you all and you will be in our thoughts and our prayers.
R.i.p Papa Jack! It’s been a long time but you will forever be remembered by your joking ways. So many good childhood memories you left us with.
Oh how I enjoyed getting to hang out with Jack and George. He was truly one of the biggest highlights of our trips to Jax. I will forever remember his laughter. Rest in peace Jack.
If you had Jack for a Friend you had him for Life. He was everyone’s Stand Up Comedian. He loved to tell stories, especially those that had no truth to them. If he caught you believing them, then that was even better. He would end it with the most hysterical laugh you’ve ever heard.
One time we were all fishing in two different boat, off the Jetties. Of course We were trolling for Kings. Not Jack…..he had found this Giant Square Block Fish called a Bale of Pot. It could only happened to Jack.
Another time, he decides to be funnier yet…he gives his self a permanent. Then we catch him under a hair dryer,, giving his self a hair do.
This kind of Humor went on his whole life. Hard to tell fact from fiction. It there was a crowd, he had every one’s attention.
Ole Jack..everyone, including the Bessent’s will miss you. See you on the Flip Side.

Pops, I still have a hard time finding my words. If you ever met Pops then I feel certain he made you laugh. He was always the jokester. One of the many things that always brought a good laugh was:
When the small children would come around you would take your tongue and push your partial dental plate out at them. Never really sure exactly what the kids thought but it would scare the crap out of them and you would laugh so hard. This is just one of the many memories I have. Thank you for all the love and memories in the past 42 years. You will be missed so much. Until we meet again Pops. All my love.

Have known Jack since I was about 10 years old. I thought too, I could follow in his foot steps & be a Stand Up Comedian. He truly was that. We dove at the Keys, at the Jetties, we fished Off Shore, we Hunted, just to mention a few things we had in common. As time went on. I took up the Profession of Fishing & became a Commercial Fisherman in S.C. Well known on the East Coast.
Can thank him for all the good memories spent together. One of Jack’s past time favorites was giving us kids Wet Willies & Wedgies. You would have had to known Jack, to understand that one.
