Jack was born on May 27, 1942, in Philadelphia, PA, to parents Randall, Sr. and Josephine (Leutwyler) Everett. He was a proud native of the Burholme section of Philadelphia and spent much of his youth enjoying his time at the Jardel Recreation Center. He played soccer and was a proud member of The Danube Swabian Association.

After serving his time in the Army, Jack established his career as a barber, earning the nickname, “Jack the Clipper.” He worked at Bob’s Barber Shop in Warminster for many years before opening his own shop in Burholme, which he named Clipper’s Barber Shop. He had a loyal following and was well-known and loved throughout the neighborhood.

One of his favorite destinations was the Jersey shore where riding his bike on the boardwalk was his favorite activity.
