Jack was a kind soul with many wonderful qualities, the type of man everyone wanted to hang out with, always ready with a smile and a story to share. Jack and his wife, Jill, moved to The Villages from Michigan over 12 years ago, embracing the vibrant lifestyle and treasuring the many friendships they developed in their new community. They enjoyed countless activities together, from golf to community events, often seen at the square enjoying the live entertainment was a testament to their love for life and each other.
Born in Philadelphia, Jack entered the Navy right after graduating from West Catholic High School for boys, serving his country with pride.
