Jack was a former United States Navy sailor aboard the U.S.S. Ranger CVA-61 where he received a Good Conduct Medal and Honorable Discharge after completing his service to our country. Jack worked at Olin-Mathieson Corporation in Saltville, VA, where he met and later married Carolyn "Nip" Fullen before their relocation to Newport News in 1969, taking a position with the Newport News Shipbuilding where he retired out as a Master Shipbuilder / Welding Foreman. Jack enjoyed fishing, bluegrass music, and watching FOX News. As we bid farewell to Jack, we do so with heavy hearts but also with the assurance that he is now in the presence of our Heavenly Father. We take solace in knowing that we will be reunited in God's eternal kingdom, where there is no more pain or sorrow. We cherish the time we had with you, and we celebrate the life you lived, the guidance and assistance you gave to all whose paths you crossed during your time on Earth, and we hold onto the faith that guides us until we meet again...
