He finally moved back to Conroe and subsequently back to work, gainfully employed until recently at the Gun Emporium Skeet Range. He always loved all types of guns and the shooting sports and became quite adept with a shotgun. Like Mr. Moore Sr., Don was a dedicated Mason. Additionally, he was a thankful member of the First United Methodist Church, the Garden Café Breakfast Club, the Houston Firefighters Retired Officers Association, and a proud Life Member of the National Rifle Association.

 December 8, 1935 - December 19, 2009 To Jack Allen Martin, the entire world was a stage. An expressive, optimistic, and uninhibited individual, he was a performer in the theater of life. To everyone around him, he seemed to be eternally happy, and he willingly shared that joy with anyone whose life he touched. For Jack, bringing out the best in any situation was as easy as offering a smile, a witty remark or the twinkle of an eye. And with just those simple gestures, he could evoke the most pleasant of emotions. Jack really mastered the art of living and had great fun in doing so.Jack was born on December 8, 1935 at Herman Hospital in Houston, Tx. His parents were William and Ruby. Jack was raised in Houston, Tx. Even as a child, Jack had the ability to lift the spirits of all those around him. He was raised to be warm, caring and friendly. He couldn't help but capture everyone's attention. He was definitely a little bit of a show off, but in doing so, he succeeded in entertaining his entire family. Always a good playmate, Jack was easygoing and fun loving. He managed to lighten the mood wherever he was, even during family squabbles. He seemed to have a knack for bringing compromise and erasing tense situations around the house. Due to a generous dose of common sense, Jack managed to find a satisfying solution to basic problems. Jack was raised with four siblings. Raymond, William(Bill), Joe, Robert (Bob).
All of Jack's playful good humor carried over into his childhood. He was possessed with an outgoing personality, a lively imagination and a mellowed enthusiasm for life that allowed him to be constantly on the go. As a result, Jack experienced a rather active childhood, and this suited him very well. He was a cub scout. In his spare time he liked deer hunt.Ask anyone who knew him from school and they would tell you that Jack was a class "cut-up." He didn't do it to be unkind or to garner all the attention. Rather, Jack simply enjoyed others' laughter and the sounds of his friends and acquaintances having a good time. It could be said that for Jack, grades may not have been the most important thing to him, but he really did enjoy his school experience. Since experience was Jack's best teacher. He enjoyed hands-on learning and applying the "practical" approach to knowledge, rather than getting caught up in "theory." Jack graduated from Reagan High School in 1952. He enjoyed some courses more than others, having favorite classes and teachers.The gift of being emotionally expressive and outwardly affectionate made Jack very easy to approach. On February 13, 1965 Jack exchanged wedding vows with Sheila Ann Smith at Woodland Baptist Church of Houston, Tx. He tried hard not to impose on his spouse. He was always sensitive to other people's feelings, and that was especially true in marriage.Perhaps the reason Jack related so well to children was the fact that he never really completely grew up himself. The ability to be just a "kid at heart" helped him in raising his own children. Jack was blessed with two children, Donna & Cathy. They were also blessed with Three Grandchildren, Chris, Jackie & Samantha. Jack had the ability to focus his attention on the present moment. If he was spending time with the kids, that's where all of his attention was directed. Jack's compassionate side prevented him from being a strict disciplinarian, and he could turn just about any situation into a playful, learning experience. He could spend hours entertaining them with fun and creative play. In fact, Jack had a knack for turning some of those nasty old chores into games. At work, as in life, Jack was a real "people person. " he had a very successful way of dealing effectively with others, and his enthusiasm and energy was often contagious. Jack liked to see himself as something of a virtuoso. When dealing with various projects and problems, Jack was an adaptable realist, using his common sense and trusting his experiences and impulses to uncover the correct answer. Jack's talent for being a down to earth thinker, allowed many around him to see Jack as an excellent problem solver. His primary occupation was Firefighter and police officer. He was employed for 23 yrs Houston Fire Department and 18 years Harris County Constables Dept Pct 4. Jack was an Navy veteran. Jack saw action for Korea. Jack enjoyed his leisure time by taking part in various hobbies. An "arts and crafts" type, Jack liked creating and making things. His favorite pursuits were deer hunting. Jack was content to enjoy his hobbies alone but was also willing to share his interests with others. Jack felt excited and challenged by sports. Even if he wasn't the best, Jack loved to participate and thoroughly enjoyed the competition and the pleasure of being around other people. Jack relished the opportunities where he could make an impact, and he would often push himself to play above his abilities. A quick thinker who understood the basics, Jack never seemed to get caught off guard, even when confronted with unexpected conflict. Jack was also something of a sports fan and enjoyed watching his favorite events whenever he got the opportunity. Tops on his list were football. Vested with a deep concern for spiritual development, Jack recognized that his faith was important to him throughout his life. He was a member Northwoods Baptist Church.Living life in the fast lane suited Jack just fine. It is no surprise that he loved to travel and to visit new and different places. He was naturally curious about other parts of the world and loved the real life adventure that came from visiting them. He was impulsive and willing to try anything once. Favorite vacations included San Francisco, visting Aunt Melba and Uncle Earl. Jack was a lover of animals and cherished his pets, enjoying them almost as much as he enjoyed being around other people. One of Jack's favorites was Tarso, German Shephard Dog. They were best friends for 7 yrs.      Jack believed that you had to experience life, and his life in retirement was no different. When that day finally arrived in fire department 1983, constables department 2001, Jack took it in stride as one more way to have fun. His new life involved relocating to Houston, Tx. With his boundless energy and a desire to get the most out of life, Jack remained busy with people and projects. In retirement, he found new pleasure in going to the country in Grapeland, Tx. Even in retirement, Jack continued to stay in touch with his old friends and, since he'd never met a stranger, he made plenty of new acquaintances as well. Jack passed away on December 19, 2009 at Nexus Hospital. Complications with infection. He is survived by his wife Sheila, daughters Donna and Cathy, Grandchildren Chris, Jackie and Samantha, Great grandchildren Javen, Chris and Savannah.
