After retiring from Miami and moving to Lake Placid in the late 1970’s, he split his time enjoying the Zenith Mountains of West Virginia and the friendly town of Lake Placid.

Uncle Jack embraced both the challenges and rewards of life and celebrated the beauty of God’s world. He especially loved flying and the opportunity it offered to touch the sky to be at one with infinity and with God. Uncle Jack was a brilliant man who also possessed the unique ability to find humor in every aspect of life. He will be deeply missed.

God bless you, Uncle Jack, as He welcomes you home at this most beautiful time of year.
