Jack was an important part of my life growing up and influenced my decision to join the Marines. He was one hell of a guy.

Jack was a dedicated man in all aspects of his life. He was a proud man that loved his family, friends, Marines, work, sports and old movies and his dog...This is what I remember from my days working with Jack at Crescent Electric back in the 90's. Thanks for the memories Jack! RIP
