He was a pillar of the community, dedicating himself to various organizations over the course of his life. Jack's impact was felt through his involvement with the Beulah Ruritan Club for over 20 years, his longstanding membership of 50 years with Masonic Lodge, and his commendable service of 30 years in the Fulton County/City of Atlanta Fire Department. Jack exhibited qualities of selflessness, bravery, and generosity from a young age. These traits defined his character throughout his life. His courageous acts in the Fire Department earned him the Medal of Valor from Governor Joe Frank Harris, a testament to his unwavering commitment to serving others.  Upon Retirement, Jack went to work for his wife at The Trophy Den.

In addition to his illustrious career and altruistic nature, Jack proudly served in the Navy aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier. His dedication to his military duties reflected his strong sense of duty and honor.

He touched countless lives through his acts of compassion, whether it was providing food, clothes, or simply being there for those in need. Many regarded him as a father figure; such was the extent of his care and love for those around him. Outside of his commitments, Jack found joy in simple pleasures. He loved playing bingo, going to the casino, enjoyed cooking, spending time in the mountains and camping.  Jack's proudest accomplishments centered around his family, military service, firefighting career, and involvement with the Masonic Lodge—a testament to his deep-rooted values of loyalty and service.
