Jack died Mar. 2, 2001. He prepared for Princeton at Louisville Male H.S., where he was captain of the football team and held an individual scoring record that lasted 30 years. At Princeton he was an outstanding football player, president of Tower Club, and chair of the Inter-Club Committee. Following graduation he went into the lumber business in Louisville and became president of the Norman Lumber Co. He had been a member of the vestry and senior warden of St. Francis in the Fields Episcopal Church. He was also a past president of Family and Children's Agency of Louisville, a board member of the Arthritis Foundation, Louisville Health and Welfare Council, Neighborhood House, and the Tuberculosis Assn.

In 1933 he married Eleanor Evans, who predeceased him. They had three daughters and one son. Surviving are Martha N. Pepples and John Jr., five grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren, as well as a nephew, Jonathan V. III '59. To all of them, '29 extends its deepest sympathy.
