He is loved and will be greatly missed.
Jack is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Lynn; daughter, Lorrie (Dana) Swinimer of Dartmouth; grandson, Tyler (Kelsey Brown) of Dartmouth; he will also be missed by his beloved cat, Tilly.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by sisters, Nancy Zwicker and Rosalie Nichols.
