Jack N. Lincoln, 89, of Atlanta

Jack N. Lincoln died April 15, 2013.

He was born in Atlanta on Feb. 19, 1924. He was the son of Sam and Ida Lincoln. Jack was full of life, and no one that ever met him forgot him. He attended Boys High and Georgia Tech and was a Yellow Jacket through and through; he kept The Varsity in business.

Jack was a production manager and eventually the owner of D’Lang Fashions and loved his buying trips to New York. He made friends wherever he went. While working in the 1960s, he attended John Marshall Law School at night and graduated no. 2 in his class. He had a second career as a lawyer and mediator for the Justice Department and the Post Office. There is not a child that he met at the OK Cafe or the AA Synagogue who does not know “where dogs park their cars.”
