Drafted at 19, Jack was a U.S. Army veteran serving in Vietnam as a generator mechanic. Jack was a true patriot and proud American.

He retired from Uni-Punch in Buffalo as a shipping and receiving manager.

Jack was passionate about fishing and hunting, a member of the Buffalo Rod and Gun Club Inc. for 53 years, where he built life-long, cherished friendships and memories of hunting and fishing journeys. While enjoying retirement, Jack taught children to fly fish through the Conservation Club. Sharing Jack’s joy and knowledge was priceless.
