Jack was a professional driver for most of his life. Anyone who knew him was aware of his love for driving trucks, old cars and vehicles. He was a Heavy Duty Mechanic by trade and worked as a foreman for both railways.
He had great faith and was aware that the Lord was taking him home. He was known for his wonderful sense of humor, His compassion and love for all people and had an entertaining story or song to reflect every situation. He loved life and made every situation humorous.
Jack became fast friends with everyone he met. He had a way of making people feel comfortable and welcome.
