She was his faithful and loving companion for the next 48 years. After graduating, he then volunteered for the Army as a 1st lieutenant, became an Army Ranger, and served in the Infantry for four years. After getting a law degree at UT, Jack rejoined the Army as a Judge Advocate. He served his country for more than 22 years retiring as a lieutenant colonel. He was deployed to more than 22 countries, and he received several medals including the Legion of Merit.

After coming to George West in 1995, Jack and Caroline built their home and rebuilt it after the flood of 2002.
