Vashaw . He is retired from T.R.W. as a supervisor after 33 years of service. Jack had a fierce loyalty to family, friends and especially his country. This prompted him to enter the Marine Corp. after graduation from St. Patrick High School in 1962. He is a veteran of the Vietnam War. The love of his country carried over to his involvement in the V.F.W. Post #4090 where he became an active life member and a past Post commander. The only thing greater than his love for his country, was the love for his son, Cecil and daughter-in-law, Kristen along with his grandchildren Hilari and Hannah they were the joy of his life, and this pride and admiration overflowed everytime he would talk about them. How proud he was when his son became a Marine, and then went on to be a member of the Michigan State Police. His daughter-in-law, Kristen was like his own daughter, he often spoke of her grace and gentleness, how much he loved her and would always be with them.
