Jack graduated from the Haverford School in 1945. He served in the Navy from 1945 to 1948 and from 1950 to 1952. He started at Princeton in 1949 but was called back to active duty during the Korean War. He was honorably discharged in 1952, returned to Princeton, and graduated in 1954. While in college, he was a member of Cap and Gown and the varsity swimming team.

Following graduation he worked for Chubb & Sons in New York and then joined the trust department of Pennsylvania National Bank in Philadelphia. After moving to Rochester, N.Y., he joined the trust department of Marine Midland and Security Trust Banks in Midland. Jack retired in 1982 to the shores of Lake Champlain.

The class extends condolences to his wife, Deidre, whom he married in 1983; his children Alice, Jack III, Roger, and stepdaughter Kimberly; and nine grandchildren. His first wife, Cynthia, predeceased him in 1975. We are honored by his service to our country.
