Jack Arthur Large, age 77 of Sevierville, went to be with his Lord and Savior in the early morning of Sunday, May 14, 2017.

Jack was employed at ALCOA in Alcoa, Tennessee for nearly 30 years when he retired. Since his retirement, Jack and Sue enjoyed traveling to many places across the country, including Hawaii and out west to the Rocky Mountain states.

Jack loved his children and grandchildren very dearly and enjoyed visiting with them, especially on big occasions when they were all together for barbeques and holidays.
