He was born September 14, 1929, to Ore Lee Williams and Annie Bishop in Mansfield, Louisiana. He went to work in the oil field at a very young age and retired from Texaco as an off-shore production foreman 21 years ago.
Jack was a gentle man with a strong faith in God. He served his Lord in many capacities during his 42-year membership at Mobberly Baptist Church. He most recently served faithfully as a greeter. Jack will be well remembered for his positive, can-do attitude, cheerful smile, and his willingness to serve God by serving others. He was a true picture of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.
He was preceded in death by his first wife, Marilynn, after 53 plus years of marriage. He was also preceded in death by his parents; and sister, Eloise Heflin.
Survivors include his wife, Fannie of Longview; daughter and son-in-love, Calva and Johnny James of Longview; grandson and wife, John and Hallie James of Pearland; sisters-in-law, Bobbie Davis of Longview and Lois Boudreaux of Port Neches; several nieces, nephews and cousins; and many, many friends.
