Avid Henryetta car collector Jack Stephens was honored Friday in the way he would have appreciated.
A longtime car and motorcycle enthusiast, Stephens died at his home Aug. 4. The 1968 HHS graduate was 68 at the time of his death.
"Jack was one of our best friends," said Terry Stephenson. "We made a few phone calls and, out of respect for Jack, everyone drove their cars." All those cars lining Trudgeon gave the appearance of a car show rather than a funeral as nearly 75 classic and modified cars from as far away as Tulsa and Checotah filled the parking lot.
Those vehicles gave Stephens the proper sendoff with a procession down Main Street to Westlawn Cemetery.
