Jack was the proprietor of Jacks A/C & Heating, a business that grew to one of the largest in East Pasco County. He treated his customers like family and would always go above and beyond for them. Jack had a love of motorcycles, especially his Goldwing. He treasured his many rides with Liz, and best friend Malcom Campbell, and the many adventures and charity rides with his friends from the Southern Cruisers Riding Club of Florida, Chapter 55. When, not riding a motorcycle, Jack was riding a tractor around the backyard with his grandchildren, whom he loved so very much, on board. Jack was a member of St. Rita Catholic Church.

Jack was the youngest of six siblings: Richard (Colleen), Judith Gore (Dan), Sandi Adamski (Ron), Mary Louise Nesteruk (Paul), Christine Kutsch, and Jerry (Deceased).
