Born on December 29, 1940 in Avery County, he was the son of the late Charles and Fannie Ledford Dellinger. Until his retirement, Jack was an owner, along with his brother Tommy, of Dellinger’s Wholesale Nursery. He was a charter member of Mt. Calvary Freewill Baptist Church where he faithfully served as Chairman of the Deacons and Sunday School teacher. He loved his church and church family and had done many things over the years to ensure that his church and its members were taken care of. He also loved his family and particularly his grandchildren and spending time with them. He enjoyed traveling and listening to live bluegrass music by his great nephews, Devon and Donovan. Jack gave to everyone selflessly. He enjoyed doting on his family and spoiling them as much as possible. Left to cherish his memories are his wife of fifty-nine years; Jewel L.
