Alongside his career, he continued harvesting crops and raising animals.His hobbies included antiquing with his wife, bowling, hunting, and collecting Native American artifacts. He was a member of the Annapolis Elks and former member of the Davidsonville Ruritan. Of all things in life, Jack most enjoyed being a devoted husband, father to his five children, a grandfather, great-grandfather, and spending time on his farm in Davidsonville. He loved these things above all else.
