Jack served in the U.S. Army as a sergeant, supporting the Rangers as a radio operator, honorably discharged.

He enjoyed his retirement fixing anything mechanical and being the host to family & friends who would visit. No one left hungry or feeling left out. He was a true caregiver having a servant’s heart.
