Jack spent most of his younger years traveling with his family. Those were trying times financially for the entire country, so his father would take his family to live where he could find work.

The family eventually settled in Oklahoma where Jack met his lovely wife Laverne Looney. They were married on February 10th, 1952. They were married for 72 years. To this marriage there were three daughters born Jackie Sheryl, Patricia Kay and Gayla Denise.

He loved to fly airplanes and would take off from the job when he got the urge to fly. He also loved to play music on his guitar and sing gospel and country songs. He encouraged his daughters to sing and loved to listen to them singing from the back seat of the car while driving down the road, usually on the way to church. He was responsible for gathering his family together to create the gospel music album by The Heavenly Echoes. Jack was a solid Christian man who was instrumental in starting several churches in which he would sometimes preach. He assisted in starting and building several churches and various locations. He loved the Lord and looked forward to being with his Heavenly Father, where he is now.
