Jack was an army Veteran, and served in the military from 1961-1964 as a combat engineer. He was a retired printing pressman, and during his retirement, he enjoyed driving the school buses for handicapped children who attended various school districts.

Sports played a significant part in Jack's life as he had been a lifelong fan of all Boston teams, especially the Boston Red Sox.

Jack truly loved his family, making everyone laugh, going to baseball games, playing golf, and eating his cookies.
