After retiring in 2005 he moved to Conway, South Carolina where he worked as the Maintenance Director at The Myrtle Beach State Park. One of his favorite perks to the job was drinking a cup of coffee on the pier while watching the sun rise.

He was an avid golfer for many years and enjoyed riding his motorcycle with his fellow brothers and sisters. He loved tinkering on old cars and you could always find an antique or classic car in

the driveway. Hunting was another hobby of his and he enjoyed spending time at his Hunting Camp "Camp Serenity". Laycee frequently hunted with her Poppy. Jack relished being in the woods surrounded by the peace and quiet of mother nature.

Poppy also liked to cheer on his grandchildren in their sports activities and attended many of their games. He traveled frequently to watch Parker play baseball. As well as Ty and Kylie to watch them play soccer. While he didn't get to visit his

granddaughters Audrey and Julia up north too much, they held a special place in his heart. For years his Wednesday afternoons were devoted to playing poker with his buddies. He always took a stand for what he believed in, lending a helping hand to those around him. He was a devoted husband, father and

grandfather. He was one of the founding members of the Shepard's Table in Conway. On Monday's you could always find him cooking lunch at the Little River Elks Lodge.
