Jack married his high school sweetheart Susan at St. Bridget Parish in Maynard. Jack and Susan settled in Nashua, NH in 1975 where together they raised their loving daughters.
Jack worked in the vending business for many years before working as a facility and maintenance technician for several local companies including Silicon Transistor Corporation in Chelmsford, MA and Teradyne and The Huntington in Nashua. Jack was an avid sports fan, his passions included the Red Sox, Bruins and Celtics. He coached many Nashua youth sports teams and enjoyed watching his kids and grandson participate in sports.
