In 1973 Jack met the love of his life, Loretta Rab, in Stephenville, Texas. They were married on September 12, 1975 and had their son, Jack Randel Pitcock II. Jack put family first, always, and was a dedicated husband and father. He was blessed to have three granddaughters later in life. Time spent with “Peepaw” was always very special for Jack because his granddaughters were his heart and joy.
