Jack loved to fish, hunt, state fairs, car races, raise calves and a huge garden. He attended all of his family's sporting events. He enjoyed his grandchildren, Carrie, Wendy and Sherry, Jordan, Chance, Dylan, Jake and Bristol and step grandchildren Marlin, Quenton, Regina and Mandy Lickteig. He had 19 great grandchildren and 7 great great grandchildren. After his strokes, his dog, Hank, was a source of companionship to the dismay of Agnes.
