John Richard "Jack" Latour

John R. ‘Jack’ LaTour shed his bodily pain and heart-sickness for his bride of 62 years and left this earth on November 25th to start a new life in the presence of his Lord Jesus. Born on July 7th, 1930, Jack was educated in Ticonderoga, NY, schools and joined the Air Force in 1950, proudly serving in Security Police and nuclear weapons security. Upon discharge from the service he returned to his hometown to build a 42-year career as a paper maker with International Paper Company and he married his beloved Beulah. They raised a son and two daughters and they have watched their family grow to 4 grandchildren and then 13 great-grandchildren. If God gives us the pleasures of our heart in heaven, you may find Jack making heavenly maple syrup or he may be found making old tractors and backhoes run perfectly. A memorial service will be held on November 27th from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at the Gamble Road Baptist Church, located at 11703 Dolly Pond Road, with Pastor Josh Cornelius officiating the service.
