Jack was a loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. During his time away from work at Ash Grove Cement Company, he enjoyed fishing, rebuilding hot rods, and working on classic cars. After retiring, he repaired lawn mowers and small engines, a pastime that brought him many hours of enjoyment. He was a longtime member of the Masonic Lodge and proudly served our country in the Army during the Vietnam War.
He is survived by his long-time loving companion, Carol Everley; his two children, Michele (Richard) and Paul (Sandi); three grandchildren, Brandon, Matthew (Paige), and Jacklyn; and five great-grandchildren, Pierce, Aubriana, Connor, Lilyan, and Jackson.
