As a young man, John proudly served in the United States Army and is an alumnus of the University of Pittsburgh. In 1957 John married his soulmate Shirley Mae Tracey. The couple moved to Dover, Delaware to start their marital journey. Jack worked for State of Delaware health department specializing in speech pathology and audiology for 30 years.

He volunteered at De Soto National Memorial Park in Bradenton and was an active member of the Kirkwood Presbyterian Church. He touched so many lives and will be loved and missed by all.
