Husband of Winter Dickson Elder.

Inscription

Beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather and Friend. A lover of bird dogs and hunter of quail. He could see the world's beauty through the eyes of an artist - and taught us to appreciate its form and color. The skinny boy who became a world champion power lifter taught us to strive to be the best, no matter the adversity. He convinced us that honor, integrity and love of family were more precious than riches. He believed life is a dance best performed with passion and courage and though we know he rests in the loving arms of God, Big Jack will be forever missed.
