As a youth the family moved to Marshall County and he graduated from West High School with the class of 1942 and immediately served his country during WWII in the U.S. Army / 277th Field Artillery. On November 11, 1966, in Plymouth, Jack and Ruth E. Barcus were married.
Jack worked in the Studebaker assembly plant and was later a storeroom manager for Bremen Bearing, retiring in the mid 1980’s.

Daughter Holli Shorter-Pifer, husband Steve and children; Corbin Pifer and Blayne, Cameron Pifer and Patrick, and Carson Pifer.
Two brothers, William D. (Helen) Shorter and James L. (Linda) Shorter, both of Plymouth, survive as well along with numerous nieces and nephews.
Jack was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers, Dick and Bob and an infant sister, Beatrice Eloise Shorter.
Friends will be welcomed at the Johnson-Danielson Funeral Home, 1100 North Michigan Street, Plymouth from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, December 24, 2013.
