Jack passed away peacefully at home on October 22, 2024, surrounded by his family and close friends that traveled from near and far to spend precious time together. He was 80 years old when he passed.
Jack was born and grew up in South Africa with his mother and father, Del and Doug and two sisters Rose and Barbara. He met his wife Trish in Johannesburg when Trish was living abroad from Austria. They were married on December 14, 1974. They had two children, Samantha and Gregory.
In 1986, they moved to the US joining his sister Rose, brother-in-law Raymond and niece Amanda in Rancho Mirage, California. Jack joined the Indian Wells Tennis Garden heading the retail division and helped it grow to the amazing success it is today.
Jack’s true passion and love in life was his family. His pride and joy were his son and daughter and his grandchildren, nieces and nephew, and grandnieces and grandnephew.
Jack is survived by his wife, Trish, daughter Samantha, son Gregory, 5 grandchildren, Gianni, Mila, Della, Dax, and Tucker, sisters Rose and Barbara.
