Although Jack was born with Cerebral Palsy, he did not let that hold him back from living his life. Jack graduated from George Washington High School in 1978 and spent many years working at S & H and K & W Cafeterias. He had an avid love for his trucks, old movies and sitcoms, and wrestling. After the passing of his mother, Jack remained independent and continued to take joy in the things he loved. Jack is now free of the lifelong struggles he faced and "Sonbun" has been called to his Heavenly Home to be with his beloved mom, Kitty.

Jack's final words of wisdom, "Glad you got to see me. Wear your seatbelt."
