Jack was a proud U.S. Army veteran, having served with the 932nd Medical Company as a Medical Aidman at Ft. Benning, Georgia. He worked and retired from Crescent Electric as a lineman.  Jack enjoyed playing Santa Claus for over 25 years around the area and also served as a Boy Scout leader.  He never met a stranger, had an extraordinary gift of helping anyone in need, and over the years was blessed to lend a helping hand to many.  Above all, Jack loved spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.  If you didn't know him, you missed out on knowing a truly good man.
