Jack grew up in Park Fairfax, Virginia. He attended Wilmington College and later served our country in the U.S. Army. Jack met Rabeth Shank, the love of his life, in Atlanta, Georgia and they were married in 1968. Jack and Beth raised their two daughters in Scarsdale, New York.
Jack was known by many as Coach Loftus. He loved coaching soccer and was equally loved by those who were lucky enough to be coached by him. Jack was also known as Captain- both at work and as the Captain of Volunteer Fire Department Company 3. Jack was a great tennis player and athlete. He volunteered at the local senior center and was always ready to help. Jack retired from Nielsen Media Research as the Chief Communications Officer.
Jack was kind beyond measure and generous beyond reason. He loved fiercely and unwaveringly. He touched more lives than he could ever imagine.
Jack is preceded in death by his mother, Marion Drew Loftus, and his father, Robert Francis Loftus.
Jack is survived by his wife of almost 52 years, Rabeth Shank Loftus; daughter and son-in-law, Rachel and Bill Barthlow; daughter and son-in-law, Clare Delmastro and Judd Frank; brother and sister-in-law, Robert and Freya Loftus; sister, Marian Cavanagh; grandchildren, Joseph, Jane and Drew Delmastro, Adam and Austin Barthlow, Jacob and Coleman Frank; and daughter-by-heart, Brandy Cooks and her son, Nathaniel.
