He was a graduate of Karns High School. Afterwards he served in the Air Force, where he received an honorable discharge due to injury. Jack had many talents. He had worked as a professional hairstylist, a pipe fitter and welder, a home builder, as well as a contractor at the plants in Oak Ridge. Through the years Jack blessed his family with his many skills selflessly remodeling or building additions to their homes. Jack loved to sing. As a child he and his sisters formed the Lindsay Trio and sang at radio stations, WLIL, the Cas Walker Program and local venues. He never lost his love of singing. He recorded several records in the 1970's, and sang at many family occasions. He was an avid golfer, automobile enthusiast, and sports fan.

The family extends a special thank you to home care nurses Jennifer Sullivan and Lisa Carroll (and others) who have helped care for Jack during the last several years of illness.
