Jack loved life, he played the guitar and had a great voice. He could often be found screaming down the road on his motorcycle or flying over the snow on a snowmobile. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing. His family could tell countless stories of the pranks he loved to play. Family and friends were very important to Jack, and he said if anyone sees Pat Berry he still owes him $50.
