We are so honored to have Jack with us in Lilac Trace.
The Aleppo Shriners Historian has graciously shared wonderful photos from Jack’s years as a Shriner, and they beautifully reflect the incredible impact he made.
Jack celebrated his 45th year as a Shriner in 2006. He was a very active and dedicated member of the Clown Unit, proudly participating in countless parades, community events, and—most meaningfully—visiting patients at Shriners Hospitals for Children every month. His kindness, spirit, and humor brought joy to so many.
Jack and his good friend Jeff were especially beloved for their Laurel & Hardy look-alike performances in the parades. Together, they created laughter, smiles, and memories that touched the hearts of children and families for decades.
And today, Jack continues to make us all laugh, bringing the same joy, warmth, and spirit to Lilac Trace that he shared as a Shriner.
