Jack Miller was a friend of mine. I was privileged to have know Jack since the 4th of November 1994. Jack Started with us, Direct Advertising, and never looked back. He loved to tell the story of how Phyllis ask him-\’Why go into sales, you can\’t sell anything.\’ Well, for ten straight years Jack was our top salesman. He was hired by his friend Bob Sands. He set multiple records that still stand today. In 2005 he elected to have his knees replaced and in typical Jack fashion, still was able to finish 3rd in production for the year. I know Jack was proud of his records, but I was more proud of how he went about achieving them. Never one to complain, never one to make excuses, he just loved to do his job. He loved to state-\’If the little devil lands on my shoulder and starts telling me things that I can\’t do-I just flip him off of my shoulder and go do it.\’ Jack was very proud of his son Jason. Jason started with us in July of 2004 and it was fun having a new best friend in Jason. With both of our fathers in the business we always had things to talk about. I love Jason like a brother and am proud of the fact that Jack thought enough of the opportunity with us to ask his son to come to work for us too. Jack was a wonderful Christian man, husband, father and friend. I have said many times that I would love to have had 20 sales reps just like him. Right now I wish we all just had Jack back. I will miss you. We all love you Jack and your family. You are home. Jack loved to send me a little text message. \’All the time\’and then I sent back \’God is good.\’ God is good, I just wish he let us keep Jack a little longer. Jack is in a better place and we are all better off by having had Jack touch our lives. Good bye Jack, you will never be forgotten.
