After serving in the U.S. Army Air Corps, he went on to work as an industrial relations manager at Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Company.

Jack was a member of the Manteca Hall of Fame , served on the city council for 24 years and was the mayor of Manteca. Jack was an excellent delegator and master list maker.

He will not only be remembered for what he contributed to Manteca, but also will be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and huge fan of his evening cocktail, Jack Daniels.
