His father died when he was four years old and his mother, Nora, raised her three boys alone. As a young man, Jack had a paper route, was a grocery delivery boy and worked wrapping loaves for the Wonder Bread Co., until he was fired for eating too many hot slices. Jack loved to remind everyone that he was Vice President of Roosevelt Junior High. He graduated from East High in 1940 and entered the University of Utah at age 16. He was a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity and was given the nickname "snake," for his ability to wrap around the pool table and usually end up winning. With his long legs, he also excelled in Track and Field. Jack eared a S.S.

He was a member of the American Institute of Architects and served on the Salt Lake County Planning Commission. Jack called himself "just a little, soft, white-haired boy." He possessed a gentle nature, positive outlook, great sense of humor and concern for others. One on one, he was your instant friend. He was a scholar and avid reader and always curious about life. He never passed up a bookstore and had an extensive library of books with pages underlined and annotated. He loved painting, playing the organ, identifying birds and composing poetry for special family birthdays and anniversaries. Jack had many childhood friends that remained close throughout his life that included Scott Sharp, Bob Thomas, George (Butch) Lund, Walter Beeson.
