After establishing his career in real estate and growing his family, he moved to Lake Geneva in 1992. He then became a Grafton resident in 2016. Jack was a long-time football player throughout high school and college, where his talents led him into making tryouts for the Chargers, unfortunately, Jack suffered a knee injury which changed his career path into Real Estate where he eventually started his own appraising company.

Jack loved spending his time golfing in Lake Geneva and continued to be an active member in the community. He was the Chicago Bears, Bulls, and Cub’s biggest fans and every single Football Sunday, everyone knew exactly where to find Jack. He was always in his Sunday best robe, on the sofa reading the Chicago Tribune newspaper and watching da Bears. After a Bears win, Jack often tried to convince his son in law, Jeff, to smarten up and support the da Bears. Jack was incredibly generous to his friends and family and always stood out as the life of the party. He carried a few nicknames, not limited to, The Mayer, Beef, and Jacky Boy.

Jack is survived by his daughter, Lauren (Jeff) Holmes; one sister, Ginger (Mike) and one brother, Gordy. He is further survived by his 3 grand-sons, Brayden, Taylor, and Rylan; and 2 grand-daughters, Ella and Emilyn. Jack has one nephew, Eric (Renee) and one niece, Kyra.
