Jack answered the call to defend his Country and proudly served in the US Armed Forces from 1956-1958. He later married Betty Piper in 1961 and they were happily married for 45 years until her sudden passing in 2006. He spent his entire career with JCP&L until finally retiring in 1994 to the couple’s cherished Cape Cod home in Wellfleet, Massachusetts.

Jack is predeceased by his beloved wife Betty, his Mother and Father (Ruth and Charles) and his Brother (Robert Charles). He is survived by his 3 Sons, Glenn (of Flanders, NJ), John (of Long Valley, NJ) and Robert (of Hackettstown, NJ), his Daughter-in-Laws Linda, Katie and Tiffany. Jack’s legacy continues to shine brightly within the next generation. His Grandchildren Andrew, Owen, Brian and Gideon will keep their “Pop” forever in their hearts as they venture out to make their marks in the World.
