Jack's Story
My wife Valle & I have (4) children, two each from a previous marriages.
I have two girls , my wife has a daughter & son. We have (2) granddaughters one from each of my daughters (9-yrs & 14 yrs). We previously lived in a house in Pompano Beach until June 2015..We presently reside in Mims,,Fl. in our Log home on 2-acres. (North of Titusville-Space Center), 2-1/2 hrs. from Pompano Beach.
After running my own company ( (34- yrs) i had an opportunity of a lifetime to become involved with one of the largest Electrical Contractors USA /abroad (Conti Electric) looking to expand their portfolio to include Signalization, Highway Lighting & Electronic Messaging Systems, ,open lane tolling which is my expertise. .Effective April; 01,2013 i was named Director of ION Electric,,LLC, SE-USA Roadway Division Group . We have(3) offices which I travel too , Jacksonville ,Fl.,Tampa, Fl. & Pompano Beach , FL, as of November 2015 i was transferred to Jacksonville,Fl office for the I-295 West Beltway / 95 project.In Tampa Veterans Expressway, Pompano,Miami areas Turnpike,I-95 & MDX, (ION Road & Signal Group).
I retired starting 2017, i love fishing o...Expand for more
n our new boat both salt & fresh water, Indian River (salt)
and St Johns River (fresh) we are newcomers to fresh water but are really enjoying it. I also love my Ford New Holland Tractor with a backhoe attached & Front Grapple. After storms or downed trees most farms on our street ask me to pick up the tree limbs with my grapple and bring to the street, why not my wife said he works for free and she lets me know who pays for all the maintenance? I enjoy doing it, Heck what country boy does not enjoy owning a tractor?
Since being retired i have done so many projects around our place i tell my wife all i want to do is be the Wal Mart Greeter!
As the years go by i often wonder how all of our school friends are doing and i mean all the people we went to school with, especially how different it is today compared to 1966.
It is a very rewarding feeling when you get a note from the past from someone. I truly hope God has looked after each & everyone of you & your families, weather i personally knew each of you or not. I now can only say i wish i was afforded the opportunity to have known each and everyone of our classmates..
