He began his career at General Electric before entering the Air Force as a photographer from 1943-1946 and then served as an officer in the Philadelphia Police Department from 1950-1966.

By the time I was born in 1978 both of my birth grandfathers had already passed away. Grandpa Jack was the only grandfather I’d ever known.
