Jack was a kind and friendly man who was dedicated to his work as a Database Administrator at Tinker AFB and, especially Holly, his “lovely Wife”, which was the way he always introduced her. After they were married, it was difficult to find a picture without both of them in it. Jack was also an enthusiastic Ham Radio operator, call sign K5ELO.
