I had the privilege to work with Jasper for the last several years. Always polite and cared for the people he served. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
From first grade thru 12th grade (John Chavis High School), JC and we other classmates were a close-knit group with a shared history and great memories. JC was the easy-going, smooth-talker, that we all loved to be around. I give my condolences to his family, and my thanks to God for having had JC as a friend and classmate. VIVIAN LOMICK MCKNIGHT
