Jack was in the construction business from an early age working in various construction camps.

Throughout his years in Cranbrook Jack enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting and spending time with his family and friends at Lake Koocanusa. In his retirement years his daily visits with his business buddies and lunch at the Apollo gave him much enjoyment. Jack will be sadly missed by his loving family and many friends.
