He was born in Irasburg, VT on December 3, 1937, the only child of Clyde and Pauline Healey.

He graduated from Orleans High school in 1955 and the University of Vermont in 1960.

Jack was preceded in death by his parents and his aunt, Doris Vance.

After college, Jack joined the Army for three years and then began his career with the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command at Arlington Hall Station and Fort Belvoir. He worked there for 30 years, retiring in 1993 as the Deputy Director.

Jack will always be remembered for his loyalty and love for his family, his irresistible smile, and personality that drew people to him. He was humble and kind and many times the life of the party.

Jack was an experienced traveler both during his working years and after his retirement in 1991, traveling many places in the U.S. and the world.

He will always be known for his love of the Washington Redskins and Nationals, his many hobbies including wood working, landscaping, cooking, and crossword puzzles. He was literally a "Jack of all trades".

The family would like to offer a special thank you to Robyn Griffith for her tireless care and assistance to Jack and Grace throughout Jack's illness.
