Jack was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He shared 72 years of marriage with his beloved wife, Carolyn Sue (Webb) Stailey, and deeply loved his family.

Jack worked as an engineer at Chrysler, where he spent his career before retiring. He especially enjoyed playing golf and chess.

Jack had a firm hope in the Bible’s promise of the resurrection. His family shares that hope and looks forward to the time when they can welcome him back and be together again.
