Jack was a life long Quincy resident. He graduated in 1976 from North Quincy High School and proceeded on to Quincy Junior College. Directly from the classroom, he was offered a job working for the City of Quincy, which led to a 40 year career in the IT Department. Jack was a dedicated employee and was liked and admired by many.

He developed his love for the ocean and outdoors while growing up on Orchard Beach in Squantum. At a young age Jack became a Boy Scout and had the honor of becoming an Eagle Scout. Jack was an outdoorsman from hunting to fishing and everything in between. He would often get up and be on the water before sunrise and return home after dark. Over the years Jack’s many adventures led to life long friendships.

Above all else Jack was a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather. Loving husband of 35 years to his high school sweetheart Jacqui. Dedicated father to Roxanne and Jonlyn, Jack never missed a practice, game, or event for his “girly girls”. One of his greatest joys was becoming a papa to his granddaughters Olivia and Lexi and long awaited grandson Connor.

Jack was one of a kind and will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
