While on scholarship to play basketball at West Texas State University, Jack was drafted into the United States Army in 1968. He faithfully served his country until 1975. Jack then began his 34 year career with Gulf Oil Company which later became Chevron Oil and held positions from Construction and Maintenance Engineer to Sales Management. The friendships he made during his career, especially while on strike duty in the 1980’s, continued on through the rest of his life.
Jack and his entire family were and continue to be active members of the Lutheran church. St. Philip Lutheran (Houston, TX) and St. Paul church in Plainview holds a special place in their heart. Jack served the Lord in various ways as an Elder, Congregation President, and Evangelism leader among many other roles.

After retirement, Jack and Edwina settled back in Quitaque, TX where Jack became very active in the community.

He volunteered his time by helping build the Quitaque Hope Center and Tri-County Meals facilities. He maintained the Quitaque.com website and regularly delivered Meals on Wheel, which was a special experience he shared with his five grandkids.
Jack cherished his beloved bride of 52 years, his daughters, son-in-law’s, and his precious grandchildren. Jack and Edwina regularly hosted “Camp Quitaque” each summer where he showed his grandchildren how to fire rockets, shoot guns and have fun in the country. He documented all of these special memories with video albums that will be cherished for a lifetime.
Finally, on March 2, 2019, God blessed Jack with a holy death and took him home to rest in the arms of Jesus to await the resurrection of the dead. Thanks be to God for his life here on earth and his everlasting faith.
