Jack loved to bowl at Ren-Dor Lanes and was in a league for many years. Prior to moving to Worthington Healthcare, he resided at Unity Plaza for many years where he had made many friends.

He attended Broadway Church of the Nazarene and loved his Pastor John Witmer. Jack’s face would light up when he came to visit him in the hospital. Johnny Briles, too, visited often, and the family would like to thank them both.
