Jack graduated from Northeast High School in Philadelphia, received his BA in Economics from the College of William and Mary in 1950, MBA from the University of Maryland in 1956, and studied graduate work at University of Minnesota. He served as a Radioman 3rd Class in the Asiatic Pacific Theater during World War II on the Naval Ship USS Seneca.
