Jack was a 1963 graduate of Tiffin Columbian High School and 1967 graduate of Heidelberg College. He started his teaching career teaching one year in New Riegel and retired as a music teacher after 35 years from Bellevue City Schools. Jack spent many years working at the Riverview Inn front desk and summers at Leiners Men's Clothes. For 30 years, he ran the Sunday school program and directed the youth choirs at First Presbyterian Church in Tiffin. He continued at First Lutheran Church with singing in the choir, playing the handbells, and serving on numerous church committees.
