Jack was an Army veteran who served his country during the Korean War. After completing his service, he had a long, successful career at IBM. He was a talented artist, and some of his artwork can be found on the walls of his home. He enjoyed playing the organ and piano as well. A lifelong self-learner, Jack loved to expand his knowledge and share it with others. Above all, he was a very family-oriented person, though his generosity and care for others also led him to volunteer his time with many charitable and town committees.
