- Garnett Lane (Jack) Ferguson, Jr. was born on January 21, 1927. He went to heaven early morning on January 17, 2014 just 5 days before his 87th birthday.
- Jack grew up in Atlanta and went to Boys High. He was always an avid reader and in high school was active in the ROTC. He was proud to enter the Navy after high school and then continue his education to become an engineer at Emory and then graduating from Duke.
- Jack married Louisa "Lou" Carter 4 Oct 1947.
His family was always the most important thing to him and he and his wonderful wife raised 3 beautiful daughters of whom he was very proud. He was committed to his wife Louisa and their 66 years of marriage is a testament to their love.
- Jack had several jobs before going to work at Lockheed where he remained until his retirement in 1988 after 36 years.
- When he retired he and Lou traveled far and wide around the world on cruises and across the US by car. When their travel slowed down he became actively involved in the Lockheed Retirees Management Association, The Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) and the Old Guard. He became a speaker for the SAR and wrote and made hundreds of presentations over these last years to young and old groups around the south. He had a true gift for teaching and led classes in his church on many Sunday mornings.
