He was also a big supporter and fan of UW athletics, loved to golf, and was a bourbon and cigar connoisseur (especially at the Tasting Room). He was a member and past President of the Middleton Chamber of Commerce, Mendota Grid Iron Club, and Sauk Point Estates HOA. He was also a proud supporter of ESGR.

He was preceded in death by his parents; two sisters, Shirley Higgins and Marilyn Hanke; sister-in-law, Darlene Christon; father-in-law, James Christon; and mother-in-law, Bess Christon.
Jack will be further remembered by his extended "family" at Hemb Insurance Group.

Way back in 1978 when I joined the insurance business, Jack was my first sales manager. We continued to work together in Madison until 1981 when I moved to Milwaukee to work in brokerage rather than retail. Jack and I continued to work together through 1989 when I took a transfer to Charlotte. I have fond memories of Jack as a person and of our working relationship which was so positive. I too remember his big personality, laugh, love of plants, care for his clients, and robust love of life. God's blessings to the family in your missing Jack and take joy and peace in the memories of who Jack was.
