In 1984 he reunited with his high school sweetheart, Geraldine (Geri). Later they adopted their great-grandsons, Daniel and Landon. Jacks’ family continues to grow and he will be remembered.
Jack never had just a job; they were his passios as a creative artist. Throughout his life he found any outlet to hone his creativity and enjoyed the company of many other artists and enthusiasts. He found great joy with his many classic car clubs. He also enjoyed the many years he spent in Ronan on his property serving the community.
