He has had various jobs however one of his favorite was at Barney's which was across the street from Kent State University in the 60's. In 2002 he moved to Aurora to live with his sister; then moved to Akron where he has lived for the remainder of his life. Although he was a simple man he will be remembered for his kindness and generosity. It was Jack's wish that there would be no calling hours or services. We will remember him as he was: a guy with a big heart who made our lives happier.
