Jack enjoyed gardening, growing beautiful flowers and trips to Vegas with his wife when he was able. He also enjoyed all the good times he had with his many friends and family.

He was predeceased by his parents, his two sisters, Gail Nutile, Linda and her husband, Marian Gawel, and Sandra Poling, who was like a sister to Jack, and her husband, Wilford Poling.
