Jack married Jeannie July 3, 1997 and joined families to create a life full of love and laughter. There was nothing he loved more than watching his kids play sports. He never missed a game and was always their biggest fan. Jack enjoyed playing golf and teaching others to play the game. The beach was his happy place and made wonderful memories with his family there. Jack had a heart of gold and always welcomed everyone with open arms and a smile.
