After they married, they lived in Tampa, then moved to Brandon and later built the home where they raised their family in Valrico. Jack lived by a simple code - work hard and love your family. He always put his family’s well-being above his own. He had his own business, Omega Industrial Products, for over 30 years where his customers quickly became his friends.
