Jack loved to fish. He was a huge sports fan.....huge!! If there was a game on television, he was watching it.

The thing Jack loved most in life was his family. His favorite holiday was the 4th of July family reunion.  

After his health began to decline, he moved to North Carolina with his daughter, Lisa, so he could spend time with his heart and soul, his granddaughter, Taylor, who was named after him.
