    Jack was an avid Harley rider, loved drag racing, semi-trucks, automobiles, and anything with power and speed got Jack going.  He loved spending time with his family and friends.  Jack and Jamie took many weekend bike trips with their friends visiting South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Colorado.  Some of Jack’s best times were hanging out at the “shop” with his friends for hours talking about the good old trucking days!  Jack always had a good story to tell, he not only told them, but added action.
