He was born in Glenville, West Virginia, in the year 1927 to the parents of Charles Olin Gerwig and Ruby Catherine May. Jack was a mischievous little boy from the tales he told. From time to time, when he was bad, he would say with a chuckle, "Mom would make me cut my own switch."

Jack is survived by Jack Goodrich Gerwig, Jill Greta Read, Lisa Jane Bennett, Joel Lundy Gerwig, Christopher Aaron Gerwig and Julia Ann Mullins, he also had 12 grandchildren, and 10 great grandchildren.
Per Jack's wishes, there will be no ceremony or funeral procession.
