"Jack" was well known for his intelligence, wit, generosity, kindness, and was of Christian faith.
He was born in Charleston, West Virginia in August 1928, and moved to Miami, Florida at 2 months old. His parents were Miami Pioneers and lived in Coral Gables.
He served in the United States Army during WWII.
He retired from the Indian River Property Appraisers Office after many years of independent real estate brokerage and appraisal. Retirement brought a move to Blowing Rock, North Carolina where he and wife, Nan, lived for many years.
He was a past president of the Rotary Club, Sons of the American Revolution and the local Board of Realtors. He had many interests such as golf, painting, needlepoint and was an avid reader. He served as museum docent and became a master gardener.
Jack received his BA from the University of Florida, class of 1952 and was an enthusiastic member of Theta Chi fraternity (TAU). Go Gators!
He is survived by his children, Roger, Liz and Andrew (Carman) Sherman; grandchildren, Christopher and Katie Sherman; and four beloved nieces, Adrienne, Julia, Rosemary, and Nancy Kain.
A Memorial Service and celebration of Jack's life will be held on Saturday, May 10th at 2 pm at First Presbyterian Church Chapel, 520 Royal Palm Blvd., Vero Beach, FL 32960.
