During all these activities and adventures, Jack would bring along his five children - Jackie, Jeff, Jay, Joel, and Jim. He was a lifetime member of Allen Methodist Church where he loved to sing in the choir. He is preceded in death by his parents, his wife Judy and the mother of his children, and his wife Carol McCormick Houser.
