In Aspen he socialized with his friends at the Elks Club, The Woody Creek Tavern and The Aspen Bar and Grill among others. Jack always kept in touch with friends and family and visited Ohio frequently. Jack’s recent residence was Grand Junction, Colorado where he was an active member of the Grand Junction Eagles.
