Jack was born on October 12, 1926 in Webb, Mississippi, the son of the late Marguerite Armstrong Waller and James Driver Waller. He attended school where he learned how to buy and sell cotton. He served in the U.S. Army as a sergeant in 1945. He was honorably discharged. He came to Brownsville, TX in 1949 and was in the cotton business for many years. He later went into business as a land developer and was very successful and prominent. He retired in 2004 but continued going to his office to work for years after. Jacks hobby was being a pilot and flying his own plane. He enjoyed this the most during his lifetime. He was a bird hunter and hunted with family friends. During the time that he his wife, Linda lived in east Texas he enjoyed fishing at the lake. He Linda traveled during their life together to various destinations and enjoyed this to the fullest. He very much loved to be around his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The memories that one holds dear to their hearts of Jack will be the strength that he leaves behind so that one can live on without him. He was a wonderful father, grandfather, and friend to all who knew him. He will be dearly missed but will remain in our hearts. We will love you always and miss you forever.

A light from the family is gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in the home, Which can never by filled, We have to mourn the loss of one, We wouldve loved to keep, But God who surely loved him best, Has finally made him sleep

Goodbye Paw
