In 1964, the family moved to Tripoli, Libya, for six years, and then Jakarta, Indonesia, for two years, finally returning to the States in 1973 (the best place on earth). Jack worked for Occidental Petroleum in California and Houston, retiring in 1985 to Ingram, Texas. Jack loved to play golf. In 2000, he and Patricia moved to Riverhills in Kerrville, Texas, where he could play golf as often as he chose. Jack was a member of Riverhills Country Club.

He is survived by his wife, Patricia; son, Jeffrey; and daughter-in-law, Doris Ann all of Allen, Texas. Jack is also survived by two grandchildren; three great grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews. Jack was an exemplary and loving husband of 61 years. As a Believer and Christian, he gave all credit for his blessings, spiritually, materially, and physically, to our God and Savior, Jesus Christ. He was loving and generous, with great compassion for others. Jack was a man of spirit with a keen sense of humor. He loved the fellowship of family, friends, and neighbors. He will be missed.
