Jack then joined the civil service working the flight light line at Travis AFB again. He moved into the electrical engineering shop and started a new career with the Civil Engineering Maintenance Inspection & Repair Team (CEMIRT), leading and managing services and maintenance teams that work on remote site generators and control systems. During this time, he met and married Sherry Noble. He was re-assigned to Peterson AFB in Colorado Springs and other AFB bases around the country before returning to Travis AFB. Jack retired from civil service and continued to reside in Vacaville enjoying golf, grilling steaks, and visiting old Air Force buddies and family. Jack passed away on June 1, 2018 at the age of 69.
