The message was delivered to Director Steve McGraw and Bass by Jack’s son, Chris. Steve McCraw will make an official announcement to Jack’s employees and to the public later today. There is no information on services or funeral arrangements at this time, and it may be awhile before we are informed of this information. I wish to thank all of you for your understanding, prayers, and support for the past week and half while we were all waiting for information on Chief Colley’s condition. So many emails, phone calls, and personal contacts confirming your concern and prayers were very much appreciated. Please continue to remember Jack’s family in your prayers Please continue your support as we go through this transitional period. Jack made a positive impression on our division, and I suspect little will change for quite awhile. My last email from Jack on 04/28/10 “tks Jimmyâ€Â Jimmie L.
