He served in the US Navy for 4 years and was stationed at Cam Ranh Bay Communications in Vietnam from 1969 to 1970.

Because of his New England accent, the kids always teased him of his “Jackisms”. He always made them laugh at how the words would come out. He loved riding his motorcycle. He was an avid reader and loved sharing books with his friend Ray.  He took every opportunity to go camping and spend time with family. He loved his walks with his best buddy Dylan on the Canal in Yardley and then going to the bench for a session of I spy with my little eye. He is a member of Christ United Methodist Church and has a large and loving church family. Jack and Judy are so blessed to have so many friends and family like Tim and Sissy surround them with so much care and love.
