Jack loved sports, especially baseball, where he was a dedicated fan of the New York Yankees.  He worked as a math teacher for Lakeland School District at Copper Beach Middle School for over 30 years.  He will be remembered for his amazing sense of humor, always having a smile or a joke ready for anyone he met, and for his incredibly kind spirit.  Despite his battle with Multiple Sclerosis and other illnesses for many years, he continued to maintain a positive attitude.  Everyone who knew him loved him, especially his wife and sons.
