Jack was a member of First Baptist Church of Laurel and enjoyed his church family and was at church every Sunday unless he was sick. He was very proud of his activities with Gideon International. If you knew Jack, I imagine you have a Gideon Bible.
There will be a “fixture” missing at the Dixie Boys fields and the Golden Tornado Stadium. Jack will be missed.
One of Jack’s favorite pastimes was coaching Dixie Boys. He also kept statistics for Dixie Boys for many years. He worked in the press box and ran the PA for R.H Watkins High School football. He will be missed.
He loved the SEC and LSU was always his favorite team. He was an avid baseball and football fan. He attended and supported local football & baseball in the Laurel area. As a hobby, he collected baseball cards and was quite successful.
Jack was preceded in death by his parents, Herbert Hub Hosey and Audrey Geiger Hosey.
He is survived by cousins and many friends. Also, by a special cousin, Betty Geiger Rose.
