He married Annette Livingston on March 28, 1981 in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Jack was a farmer and worked for McLatcher's Heating/Air and Refrigeration for many years. He was a member of the Lakeland FIre Department Board. He was a wonderful, loving husband, father and grandfather. He loved the outdoors, gardening, snowmobiling, and spending time in Northern Michigan. He was a native to Lake George and loved sharing time with his family there. Jack was filled with laughter and unconditional love.
