He went on to become a visiting minister for several churches in Houston and surrounding areas. He especially enjoyed teaching adult bible study.

Jack was an extraordinary carpenter and builder. He was a great athlete and loved all sports. In the early to mid 60s, Jack was given the opportunity to play Semi-Pro football for a local team here in the Houston area. He was a well rounded athlete and played both offense and defense. He loved playing golf, baseball and dancing. Jack later joined the Harris County Senior Softball League in 1993, where he played and managed off and on for over 20 years. He loved the game. Most of all, he loved the players and the many friendships he made along the way.
