He also designed stamps for foreign governments and loved logo design.
Jack was a great admirer of the artist Henry Moore and was a talented wood sculpturer himself. He loved so many varieties of wood that he was often teased as being part termite.

Jack was very involved in community service. He was a Co-President of the Ridgefield PTA Council and President of the Woodcock Nature Center in Wilton.
