Jack was born on December 3, 1919 in Cereal, Alberta. As he grew up in Cereal he worked in the family store and in his free time enjoyed curling and playing ball with his brothers and his friends.

While raising their family Jack worked with the Canadian Grain Elevators until his retirement. Jack was a long time member of York Lodge 119 as well as many other Masonic bodies. He was also a member of the Lethbridge Shrine Club and the Royal Canadian Legion. In Jack's retirement he enjoyed his time with family and friends.
