John "Jack" Willis

Message from Mercedes Will

On behalf of The Hobbs Family we would like to express our deep condolences. The house in Gainsborough was a safe and healing house for anyone who needed help, both in Jack's time there and in my Father's (Dr. Hobbs) time there. May they both rest in peace after all the help and compassion they showed to their fellow man. Amen, thank you Jesus for these men.

Message from Laurie Cole and boys

To the Willis and Cousin Families. Jack was a wonderful friend and mentor to me. He had some amazing wisdom that he had acquired throughout life and through the AA program.
He was a caregiver by nature; he cared for Ruth when she became ill and when she had passed away he took on caring for Erin. Jack was a bright light for him and took him on many excursions and trips to the coffee shop, until Jack's health started to decline..
Jack cared for all that he met and offered guidance, encouragement and a friend. He made everyone feel as if they were important and had nothing but time to offer them.. He was a wonderful man and will be truly missed.

So sad that we had to loose such a warm, kind, and incredibly humorous person, the kind of person that helps make living in this COVID19 world just a bit more bearable. Our hearts go out to his family, you'll be remembered Uncle Jack!
