Jack was very active with St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Foxboro, singing in the choir, serving as treasurer and being a part of both the vestry and building committee. Jack was also a loyal, hard-working employee at the Foxboro Company/Invensys for over 35 years, serving as project manager for many flagship engagements, including projects such as Reliance in India, Eli Lilly in Indiana and managing the high-profile Intelligent Automation launch at the 1988 ISA show, often receiving many accolades for exemplary service along the way.
