"Jack was not only a great businessman and leader, but he's also been a good friend to many of us. His common sense approach to business and his single vision of doing what is best for our customers will continue to guide the company he started for years to come. The thoughts and prayers of all of his JHA family go out to his wife, children and grandchildren," said Jack Prim, CEO of Jack Henry & Associates, "Our industry has lost one of its great founders and leaders."

Jerry Hall, executive vice president and co-founder of Jack Henry & Associates commented, "Jack leaves a strong legacy for the businesses and people he touched. He believed in bringing people together and forging lasting relationships. Those relationships and the impact he had survive him and are a testament to all that he has accomplished. He did something that few people could–he brought together people who could step in behind him and carry his vision forward."
