Jack enjoyed reading a wide range of subjects with Thomas Clancy and Isaac Asimov among his favorite authors. He also enjoyed going to the gun range and casting his own bullets. A veteran of the US Air Force, Jack supported our military in many ways. He was proud to ride with the Patriot Guard Riders escorting our service members to their final resting place.
