He earned a Bachelor’s degree from Southeastern Louisiana University and was also a serviceman in the Army National Guard. After teaching one year of elementary school in St. Bernard Parish, Jack began his career in banking at Hibernia National Bank. Soon after, he became a national bank examiner, worked in the private banking industry and then ended his career as a State Bank Examiner for the Office of Financial Institutions for over twenty years until 1999 when he was forced to take a medical retirement due to a brain aneurysm. Jack enjoyed gardening, cooking, watching LSU and Saints games as well as attending his twice a year luncheons with his high school buddies. Jack was a kind and gentle soul. His greatest love was spending time with his family.
