Warren G. Jack. Sr. passed away at home unexpectedly on Tuesday morning March 3, 2015. He was born in Cambridge, MA on October 24, 1937, a son of Earl Jack, Sr. and Jessie (Rodway) Jack Matthews. Warren served in the United States Army on the domestic front during the Korean War. For most of his adult life he maintained his Class III commercial truck license although he was not involved in that profession after the late 1960’s. He was a manager at Orion Research of Boston prior to his retirement. He was a lifetime member of the Lawrence, MA Elks Lodge #65, a self-taught cook and excelled in the kitchen at home, another of his passions. During the NASCAR racing season on any race day, he could be found riveted to the TV. He was also an avid movie buff with a special interest in classic horror movies of which he said, “They don’t make good horror movies these days, these oldies are the only ones worth watching”. Warren was a very devoted family man and lived for his grandchildren and great grandchildren, who were his greatest joy. He will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. He was predeceased by his son, Warren G. Jack, Jr. formerly of Cambridge, MA; sisters, Arlene Walshaw and Alice Lawson; and a brother, Harold Jack-Williams.
