Jack enjoyed going to coffee with his friends and
always enjoyed the discussions that followed. He was
also an avid car enthusiast who especially loved
going to car shows and had great appreciation for
the muscle cars of the 50's 60's and 70's. In his
spare time, he enjoyed detailing cars and could make
any car look brand new. He had several hobbies
including collecting Lionel Trains but his favorite
one was riding his motorcycle through the
countryside in the summers. In his younger days he
was a weightlifter and an amateur boxer. In his
