Jack moved to Utah in 1976. There, he met Denyse Davis in September 1977 and they married on June 24, 1978. In 1963 Jack enlisted at the age of seventeen and served with the US Army First Battalion Third Armored Regiment stationed in Friedberg, West Germany in support of the Vietnam War. He worked over 45 years in the HVAC trade in the field, as a supervisor, and college instructor. He worked for Carrier Corp., US Postal Service, Honeywell, and Salt Lake County. But, his greatest joy was teaching at the Salt Lake Community College and conducting HVAC training seminars throughout the United States.
In 2007, Jack's passions shifted to family and recreation. With Jack in the lead the family enjoyed trips to the family cabin, boating, fishing, and four wheeling through the Uintah Mountains. While wintering in Mesa Arizona, he became an accomplished slow pitch, senior softball player. He loved golf and pickle ball. Jack loved his Mesa sports family. They lovingly called him "Pipes," Road Runner," and "Crazy Legs," among other names.
