Notes:
“Jack delivered Hamms Beer for 28 years and worked for Consumers Liquors for 30 years. He was an Elwood volunteer fireman for 21 years, a Jackson Township Trustee for 24 years and a charter member and treasurer of the Elwood Lions Club until it disbanded. Jack was a diehard Cardinals Fan all his life. In his lifetime he was able to attend numerous World Series games cheering on his beloved Cardinals. In 2009, the All-Star Game was held in St. Louis and he was there for this once in a lifetime experience. He was an avid bird watcher and could tell you the name of every bird. The rare time he would find a bird on his feeder that he had never seen; he would look in one of his many bird books until he found the answer. Jack also enjoyed playing cards. For years you could find him in a good euchre game at Betty's. He loved getting together with family and friends for a good poker game. You would occasionally see him at the casino - proudly wearing his Cardinals hat and shirt playing video poker. He was nicknamed ‘Crabby’, but he was a teddy bear who loved his family, sports, and card games (in that order).”
