We just heard of Jack's passing. He was buried on the day (Nov 25th) that our son Tim died (in 1990). Jack always kept a picture of Tim on his desk at Marion and we received from Jack a Mass card each year, all these years, in memory of Tim. They are both together now in Heaven. May God bless them both. Love, Bernice & Doug Benker

Jack dedicated his life, through teaching, counseling and Kairos to turning boys into young gentlemen with a strong moral compass ans solid Christian values. Those men passed those values on to their children and in some cases their grandchildren. There is no way to calculate the amount of good created in the world by this one dedicated man. Rest in peace Jack, your work here is done.
