He passed away peacefully July 8, 2015. He was raised in Dayton, Ore., graduating from high school in 1949. After graduation he attended the University of Oregon and not wanting to be drafted he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, serving four years.

Jack was a long-standing member of the Rogue Valley Country Club where he scored a hole-in-one. Above all, Jack was a people person.
