A charitable trust was established Tuesday to cement the legacy of Owensboro icon Jack T. Wells. The goal of the Jack T. Wells Charitable Trust which received a pair of founding contributions that totaled $75,000 is to provide for those in need in the Owensboro community for decades to come.
The establishment of the trust immediately followed an announcement that the Owensboro-based Canteen Service Company of which Wells was the former owner and senior partner has been acquired by Tennessee-based Five Star Food Service.
Mike Simpson and Eugene Hargis will serve as Co-Trustees of the trust.
