Jack loved all things about water, like fishing and boating. He had a home in Michigan where he would spend time just gazing out over the great Lake Michigan. His dogs were part of his family and he dearly loved them. Jack also liked to keep in shape and was lifting weights and even riding his bike into his 80’s. Throughout his life Jack was a faithful Gideon doing God’s work. He will be missed by many.
