They moved to Okawville and Jack taught history and coached baseball and basketball at Okawville High School.

Jack was a loving husband to Betty, as well as her best friend and they celebrated 55 years of marriage prior to their passing. He was a devoted father to his girls as they were devoted to him. He was a stand-up guy, honest to a fault and a man everyone could depend on. Jack's word was his bond. He enjoyed life, working and playing to his fullest, including a golf handicap envied by many.
