Traveling was a great passion of Jack’s. He enjoyed taking cruises to different islands, especially Cozumel. For more than 40 years he worked for many different contractors in several states as a Pipeline Inspector. He enjoyed traveling the country, getting to see some of God’s majesty works of art. He finally retired in 2016 when his health began to fail him. Over the past few years, he spent a lot of his time playing on his IPad and visiting with folks on facebook.
