He was extremely involved in raising money and awareness for Multiple Sclerosis. For over 28 years, he was a top fundraiser for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and participated in their 150 mile bike race annually. Jack always kept himself busy. He loved the outdoors and spent every chance he could biking, hunting and fishing. The only thing he loved more was the cherished moments spent with his grandbabies.

Jack was the friend who had a gift for always doing and saying the right thing, no matter what the situation. He will be extremely missed by anyone who crossed his path. There will be no visitation.
