Mr. Pither was born December 26, 1923, in Shreveport, Louisiana to Walter Jack and Edna Pither. He was raised and educated in Shreveport, LA. Jack entered the armed services at the beginning of World War II. He served honorably and fought in five major campaigns; Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Central Europe, and the Battle of the Bulge.

After his retirement Jack's sons and daughter-in-law, Pat and Brenda Pither, took over the business which is currently in operation and is now managed by a third generation of Pithers, Patrick and Brandi. Jack and Loyce attended Southside Assembly of God Church for many years and were faithful supporters of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jack lived by his Christian principles and was an example and inspiration to all who knew him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by his family and friends.
