Jack was a 1963 graduate of Tiffin Columbian High School and a 1967 graduate of Heidelberg College.  He started his teaching career teaching one year in New Riegel and retired as a music teacher after 35 years from Bellevue City Schools.  Jack spent many years working at the Riverview Inn front desk and summers at Leiners Men’s  Clothes.  For 30 years he ran the Sunday school program and directed the youth choirs at the First Presbyterian Church in Tiffin.  He continued at First Lutheran Church with singing in the choir, playing the handbells and served on numerous church committees.  He sang in the Heidelberg community choir from 1968 until approximately 2020.  He was a camp counselor and Director at Kirkmont Camps for many years and also sat on numerous boards around Tiffin, including Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Heidelberg, St. Francis, Columbian Alumni, among others.
