The Ski Community Lost Another Great Friend Today

[scuppers]

This morning my great friend Jack Middleton from Meridian MS died after battling cancer for over 5 years. Jack never gave up the fight from the first diagnosis. We spoke on Saturday and he still talked of skiing and fin settings and wind conditions. Jack was a friend to all - he taught lots of people the ins and outs of skiing and generously opened his Dream Lake to anyone that came out to ski. Jack had all the qualities - honesty, integrity, compassion, and a great big heart. OB is going to post some pictures. If you knew Jack you liked him.

Sorry to hear, I know what it's like to lose one of your favorite ballers...makes me think of my Dad, too. Sounds like Jack was a great guy.

I didn't know Jack at all but it sounds like I would have liked him.... a lot!

Jack will certainly be missed, how many times we talked about building lakes, he finally asked for the plans for my lake, when I handed him a legal sheet with a rectangle 2 circles and distances written on it he said this will work, next thing I knew we had matching lakes

I had one more picture - This was taken a couple of years into Jacks treatment - He went strong as long as he could
