Jack later purchased his own shop from the late Frank Blanchette over the then Westcotts Stationery Store and worked there until he semi-retired at age 62. Over the years he worked with such barbers as the late Wendell and Gary Derouchie, Leo Baines, Joe DeRosie and the above mentioned in his more than 50 years as a barber.
He was a member of the Massena Elks Lodge and the New York State Barbers Association, a former member of the Order of the Moose and he attended the Advent Christian Church.
