Jack was born and raised in the little town of Georgesville that doesn't even have a stoplight. Jack was always a country boy at heart, he lived out that dream by building his own home on the family homestead. Jack and Sandee enjoyed their time on their five acres gardening, drinking beer in the garage, and listening to country music while surrounded by friends and family.
Jack and Sandee were proud owners of Jack and Sandee's Grocery, where they enjoyed being a part of the country community every day. Jack was also a proud member of the Georgesville Community Club. The Georgesville fish fry was a community event that he enjoyed being a part of and made sure it ran without a hitch.
Jack truly was a jack of all trades. His friends and family knew they could count on him to fix anything. Jack retired from CORE Moldings where he made lifelong friends.
Jack will be truly missed by the love of his life, Sandee, and all the lives that he touched.
