In 1982, Jack and Joanne came back to Hemet where Jack served in various pastoral roles until his retirement in 2002 at age 75.
Pastor Jack left a godly legacy with his life. He is well known in Hemet where he served the community for many years from First Baptist Church of Hemet – Cornerstone. He visited countless numbers of people in their homes and in the hospital, and officiated over many funerals through the years. He enjoyed listening to southern gospel music, had an amazing voice and loved to sing. He and Joanne sang together and even recorded an album.
Pastor Jack was upbeat, happy, and had a great sense of humor. His wife describes him as ‘a wonderful love’. Together they enjoyed camping and simply getting out and about, taking numerous drives to Big Bear, Idyllwild, the beach, etc. The Vaughn family was always thanking the Lord for their blessings. Pastor Jack loved Jesus, his family, and people. He cared for others and did all he could to keep them smiling and laughing, often yodeling at unexpected times. He and his family had been laughing just hours before he was called home. Pastor Jack also enjoyed gardening and toll painting in his spare time. More recently, he enjoyed napping in his EZ Chair with his poodle ‘Bobbi Girl’.
