Jack's professional journey was marked by dedication and hard work.

He was also a dedicated member of the Cub Scouts for 15 years, serving on the pack and district levels in both St. Louis and Sedalia.

His legacy lives on through his eleven grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
