Jack will be deeply missed for his kindness, leadership, and the strong relationships he built, especially during his six years on the Community Foundation’s board of trustees, where he served as secretary and chaired the scholarship committee. The family will decide at a later time which of the Foundation’s 800+ funds will benefit from the many memorial gifts being given in his honor, ensuring that his legacy continues to support the community he cared so much about.
