Nancy, Johnny, Larry, Patricia,
Bless you during this time of loss. Uncle Jackie was always so good to
Mom and I will always remember his smile. Be at peace at this time.
April 26, 2010 
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Jackie loved family, friends, and
his passion of music playing Drums. He was a devoted member of our
orchestra for over 25 years and my team mate in the rhythm section. His
drive and determination was the soul and heart beat of the Sound of
Swing! We will all miss his compassion, smile, musical talent, and team
spirit he generously gave to us all. Move over, Sonny Payne and Gene
Krupa, heaven needed a stronger beat.~ Glen Boswick, Newport News, Virginia April 27, 2010 I was one of Jack's supervisors at
OBRP. He was a great employee and a very good man. He and I never had
any unkind words and we both loved Buddy Rich. My prayers to the family. April 27, 2010
Dear Mrs. Maddox,
You probably won't remember me, but I'll never forget y'all! Mr. Maddox was one of my favorite patients ever at RRMC and I worked there for 35 years before retiring last year. I've often thought of him thru the years and am so sorry for y'all's loss. He was such a sweet, considerate person. You're in my thoughts and prayers. April 27, 2010
John, Pat, Mallory and Megan,
Thinking of you during this difficult time.

Our sincerest
sympathies are extended to the Maddox family and their friends at this
difficult time.
Y'all take good care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!
Love to all, Carol

Words by
John Newton,

(24 July 1725 – 21 Dec 1807)
Amazing grace! (how sweet
the sound)
That sav'd a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev'd;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ'd!
Thro' many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promis'd good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call'd me here below,
Will be forever mine.
