Jack was born October 5, 1933 in Turner, Michigan to Lester and Marcella (Tennis) Cross. He graduated from Lapeer High School, class of 1952.

Jack served his country proudly in the US Army during the Korean War. He married Elizabeth Ann Burke on March 16, 1957 in Camden, Michigan. Jack was the Friend of the Court of Lapeer County for 32 years, retiring in 1995. He was a longtime member of the First Presbyterian Church in Lapeer.
