employed for almost 40 years by Heekin Can/Ball Corporation, where he excelled in the Sales
Department. He was a friend to all and never met a stranger.
Jack loved motorsports, was an avid Cincinnati sports fan, and seldom missed a Notre
Dame football game. He was proud of his Irish heritage, loved St. Patrick's Day, and will forever
be remembered for enjoying a cold beer at home in his "Florida" room. Jack thoroughly enjoyed
retirement and spent many days taking long walks with his wife, Celeste. He was always
"tinkering" around at home and loved spending time with his Grandchildren. He had the gift of
"gab" and was quite the storyteller. Jack loved history, watching hummingbirds, and entertaining
guests and family. He was loved and will be missed by all.
