Jack was a hardworking man. In high school he did custodial work at
Hennessey Schools and also worked at Sinclair. After high school he
worked at a grocery store and did custodial work for Enid Schools. He
was then employed by Bond's Bakery for almost 25 years until it closed.
Atwoods was where he worked until he retired. He owned a farm with his
wife near Ringwood where he tended cows, pigs, etc. After retirement,
Jack took up a passion for painting. He was also known as 'The Birdhouse
Man' because of his love for building birdhouses which he sold at 'Four
Corners'. At the age of 53, Jack met Christ and was baptized in the
Jordan River by Wendyl Glenn. Jack had his love for his personal family
but also his family at the church he attended, Your Family Church. Many
enjoyable Thanksgivings were held there with his loving family. Jack was

his love of Gunsmoke & John Wayne westerns, and his never-ending love
for his family.
