Jack was born in Aurora, IN in 1948. Isabel and Jack are his parents, and he is the second oldest in his family. In his early life, he loved playing with his brothers and sisters. He met Grammy at the swimming pool, and would walk all the way to Greendale to see her, which was more than 5 miles away! He has 6 children, which were all born in Indiana except his oldest was born in Kansas when he was in the Air Force. PopPop worked many jobs, and worked at Kroger, in the Air Force, a High School English teacher, the media lab at UVA, a library district coordinator, and a Librarian in Indiana, South Carolina, and Georgia. Nowadays he lives in Florida and spends lots of time in South Carolina as well. He loves his grandchildren and he likes chocolatey cereals, marmalade jelly, grilled cheese (which is the best because it has pepperoni on it), reading, and listening to music.
