He was devoted to helping the less fortunate. Jack had a keen sense of humor, an infectious laugh, and a gift for storytelling. He loved fishing on the Big Horn River in Montana, reading, history, politics, golf, and travel. In his later years he took piano lessons, and theology classes at St. Thomas University. His many letters to the editor were frequently published in the StarTribune and he became a blogger after his 84th birthday. Jack's abiding faith in God inspired his steadfast expressions of unconditional love and support for his family and community.
