Jack peacefully passed early morning May 27, 2023, at the age of 90. Jack’s life started in Ontario, Canada and was one of 10 children. He met his wife Dinah Antonelli, at a very young age and they wed in October of 1951. In 1960 he migrated his wife and children from Canada to Tucson, Az to start their next chapter. In 1963 they joined and became a part of Christ Community Church and have been members ever since. Jack contributed much time to the church to include overseeing grounds keeping and becoming an elder of Christ Community.
Jack was full of laughter and zeal and had a very fruitful life. He will be remembered as a humble, tender man with integrity, honesty, and a demeanor about him that made anyone in his presence feel warm, welcomed, and safe, yet he could fill up a room with his presence and joy.
Jack retired from Farmers Insurance in 1990. Jack loved the art and success of business, and he had a skillful passion for gardening. Above all, Jack was devoted to the Christian faith, and a prime example of what it is to be a child of God. His commitment to his Savior allowed him to be a steward of God and share the Gospel with such grace and influence that many turned away from their previous ways to Jesus Christ. Jack loved and prayed for all without hesitation.
Jack is survived by his wife of 72 years, Dinah, their three children Debra, Judy, and Kevin along with 10 grandchildren, and 12 great grandchildren, and also his four remaining siblings - Bill, Alice, Naomi and KR.
