Jack and his dear wife, Sue, were dedicated and faith-filled members of Presentation Ministries. Jack often traveled with Fr. Al Lauer, founder of Presentation Ministries, on his evangelistic missions. Jack was known for his friendly nature, good humor, and as a gifted speaker to Proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. May Eternal Rest be granted to Jack, and his loving wife, Sue.

I remember Jack in my teenage years as being warm and receptive as he led Care & Share prayer & Bible meetings at his home. He was always a joker with the gift of humor that seemed to always make me laugh. He never seemed to tire to drive friends in his van to Church meetings during the Catholic Charismatic movement era. He was very protective and was a great builder and good mentor. Please accept my condolences.
