Jack met the love of his life Janet Fox (nee Wilhoit) in 1951, and they married in Middletown, Ohio, on June 26th, 1953.  Jack always said that with Janet, it was love at first site. Their 68 years of marriage together are a true example of their enduring love.  Janet was by Jack’s side creating a home for them and their family first in Miamisburg, then in New Vienna, as well as in Hermosa Beach, California, when Jack was in the Army.
