Jack was born Oct. 30, 1946 in Hillsboro, the son of the late Mack W. and Frances W. (Forseille) Kendall.

Jack grew up in the Mowrystown area and graduated from Whiteoak High School in 1964, attended Otterbein College for three years, moved to Tucson, Ariz. and graduated from the University of Arizona in 1973. After college, Jack worked for the University of Arizona until 1977. During that time, he was a computer processor on the NASA Pioneer Project. 

Throughout the years, Jack was an independent contractor for many agencies: for law enforcement, programming computers, writing programs and maintaining the hardware, and helping them move to a new facility; and for Technics, working on defense buildings and medical hospitals installing and repairing heating, air conditioning and automation control. He worked for a restaurant/nightclub chain of nine stores installing and repairing TVs, sound systems and other electrical equipment. He worked with firefighters installing and maintaining their computers until 2009. 

Jack retired in 2010, caring for his mother until her death, then started his own business, Wisewerks, an electronics and computer repair service. Jack always kept busy.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Mack and Frances (Forseille) Kendall.

Graveside services will be held at the Sardinia Cemetery Saturday, May 25, 2024 at 2 p.m. with Pastor Kraig Walker officiating.
