I knew Jack for a short time at waterford but knew he was a special man. He served his country in the navy and airforce. He was a good friend and will be missed by so many.

I had met Jack by chance at Fall Feast 2017. There was a special table set up in the ballroom that just caught my attention. As the morning got rolling I noticed folks gathered around a person in a uniform of sort. As I got closer and watched, it was Jack. What an amazing person to talk to. He was sharp as a tack. He gave me his card and we talked for a bit as he gave me a History lesson. Had the honor repeated at Fall Feast 2018. Sadly at Fall Feast 2019 Jack wasn't there. Jack, may God Bless and Rest your soul. Thank you for serving our Country during war times and long after by unselfishly sharing you with all you came in contact with. A piece of History is gone. To Jack's family, may you find steadfast healing from your loss and cherish the blessings and memories you have and share because of Jack.

Jack hired me as a School Social Worker for the Cincinnati Public School in 1978 and was later my Supervisor at Cummins Social Service Center. Jack was very respected as a Cincinnati Public School Employee and a good friend who will be sorely missed.

Jack was a very "Special" Friend to the athletes of Special Olympics Hamilton County for many years. He and his fellow members of the PhiEK helped run the annual Track & Field meet - from set up, to running the events to tearing down. Jack also helped with a number of our other events including golf, fishing, skiing, basketball-just to name a few! He also started the Kite Fly at the Green Township Veteran Park and he had a division for those with Special Needs. Jack was a wonderful volunteer and advocate for SOHC.
