I knew Billy Jack at Eastman.He was one of only two people in the
Industrial Relations dept that had integrity and kept his word of confidentiality when you talked to him. He is one of the few and will be missed by all.

Billy Jack will always be remembered with a smile. He was always someone to look "up" to when I was one of the "little kids" - he was larger than life and will be remembered that way. My love to you all.##imported-begin##Barbara Dale Brooking-Henderson##imported-end##
Joy and Girls,
As you know, Billy Jack and I go back a long way. I considered him my best friend. We grew up neighbors and were close friends and teammates at Gladewater. We played on the GHS baseball team of '55 that went undefeated in district play and won Bi-district. We "ate and slept" baseball together. It never got too cold or too hot to keep us from going outside and playing catch or batting the ball. I have so many fond memories of so many fun things he and Bobby Joe Leach and Emmanuel Turner and I used to do. His house was my "second home." The first TV I watched in the very early 50's was at their house. B.J.'s athletic ability was exceeded only by his great character. God bless you'll and may He give you His amazing grace to sustain you in this time of your loss. If there is baseball in Heaven, Billy Jack is playing!

I will never forget that Billy Jack gave me a chance at Texas Eastman, when he hired me in 1982, he changed my life. I will always remember what a good man he was.##imported-begin##Vernon T. Lewis##imported-end##
