Jack went to Northridge High School class of “57” where he served as class President Freshman thru Senior year. He was a member of the Junior Council on World Affairs and made the trip to DC with the group. He played Football, Basketball, was on the Track team and even in the school plays. Jack made life long friends who have only fond memories of him.
Jack was an entrepreneur who was fair, nonjudgmental and full of integrity. He liked to stay busy either by making concrete geese for Goosey Gander or fixing up a house to rent.
Jack loved to travel and go on cruises. He visited Scotland, China, Australia, the Mediterranean, a good portion of the US including Alaska and Hawaii, playing Golf at many of his destinations.
After retirement from AC Delco where he worked as a Powerhouse Engineer, he and his wife Barb moved to the Villages, FL. You can believe that he enjoyed playing plenty of Golf, drinking plenty of Margaritas, and Jitterbugging with the Ladies!
Jack believed in God and good will for all.
He was and still is truly loved by all who had the opportunity to know him.
We know he rests in peace.
