He was also Past President of the Summit County F.O.P.A. and the Flying Funeral Directors Assoc. In May of 2003, his wife Vera passed away. Already in his eighties, Jack continued to seek new challenges. He learned Morse Code and obtained his HAM radio license (KF4FJN) and although no longer sailing, he kept a pontoon boat for fishing and organized regular fish-fries at the mobile home park in Florida.

In 2004, he rekindled a childhood acquaintance with Grace Brady Schreiner. The two widows were married not long after.
