Jack was born on November 26th, 1925 in Jefferson, Iowa. At the young age of two he moved to the Mallard-West Bend area where he gained his education. He entered the Navy in 1944 receiving many medals after serving his country during WWII.
Jack returned to the Bode-Rutland area where he farmed. He was in the restaurant and café business for some time when he became involved with law enforcement. From there it led to many years of law enforcement of which he became sheriff of Calhoun County from 1978-1988. He then retired and moved to the Humboldt area. His hobby was known as “manual labor”.

He was a stepfather and foster father to many. He has several grand children and great-grand children. Jack loved the sound of the “JACKPOT” ringing up on a slot machine. He enjoyed and took great pride in a well-mowed yard and keeping things looking neat and tidy!
