Jackie Leo Langston was born March 28, 1922, in Guthrie, Oklahoma and he went
home to be with the Lord on May 15, 2004, in Bakersfield. Jack is survived
by his daughter-in-law, Bonnie Ross; 5 grandchildren, Billy Ross, Mary Ross,
Earl Ross, Jack Ross and Sabrina Ross; 22 great grandchildren; brother, Bobby;
sisters, Ethel White, Verna Black and Elizabeth Montgomery and numerous nieces
and nephews.
Jack enjoyed fishing at Lake Isabella and quilting. He had many fond
memories and stories to tell. One of the stories he always loved to tell was "big
fish stories." He also had many stories to tell about the war and everything he
had learned being in the service during wartime. He would always tell the
kids and grandkids "no matter how big you get, I know one move that will take
you right down." But his biggest passion in life was sewing. He made many
beautiful quilts in his time and he would give them to people who were special to
him. His quilts will be cherished forever. "We will love and miss you
always, Grandpa until we meet again." For additional service or floral delivery
