Jack was preceded in death by his parents; beloved daughter, Sheryl; sisters, Ordell, Alice and Betty; and younger brother, Otto.

He is survived by his wife, Adeline; sons, Rick (Robin), Mike (Trina), Jack (Debra) and Daniel (Kathy); daughters, Christine (Scott McDonald) and Faye (Ron Meehan); sisters, Irene (Ray) Olson and Marjorie (James) McCain; many nieces and nephews that he adored; and his constant companion, Sparky.
