Jack was raised in Austinville, Virginia and graduated from Virginia Tech. After serving in the Army, he returned to Richmond and worked for Philip Morris, retiring in 1998. Jack enjoyed a post-retirement career working at A Sharper Palate Catering for many years. He loved playing golf and gardening, especially when the tulips he planted each year heralded the arrival of spring. Jack relished being "Grandpa Jack" to his three grandchildren, supporting their activities at school and on the athletic fields.

Jack loved golf and Virginia Tech almost as much as he loved his "grands" and would appreciate donations in his memory to: Virginia Tech Men's Golf Program, 902 Prices Fork Road (0336), University Gateway Center, Blacksburg, Va. 24061 or St. Bridget Catholic School, 6011 York Road, Richmond, Va. 23226.
