Donald MacLaren Jack ’52

Don came to us from Garden City (N.Y.) High School and majored in history, ate at Cannon, and roomed with Bob Van Meter, Dave Dimmock, and Dick Ellwood.

After a semester at Columbia, he joined the Navy OCS and as a lieutenant junior grade, served on a minesweeper for three years. In 1963, he got a job with McDonald & Co., an investment firm in Cleveland, where he spent the rest of his career.

After retirement in 1999 he was deeply involved with the Cleveland Orchestra and the Cleveland Museum of Art. 

Don died Jan. 29, 2023. He is survived by his wife, Marta; and their two sons, Craig ’86 and Douglas. To them the class sends its regrets at the loss of Don.
