Facts and Events
He died at the St. Joseph's Medical Center in Bloomington Illinois after a long bout with cancer. He was buried at the East Lawn Funeral Home in Bloomington, Illinois. He taught elementary school for 36 years in Bloomington, Illinois. He was the principal at Raymond and Centennial Elementary Schools. He was also on the City of Bloomington Planning Commission, and sang in the Illinois State University Chorale Chorus. There was quite a scandal in the family, and in Bloomington as well, when Jack was accused of molesting a young boy. The charges were never proven, but it caused quite a rift in the family, as it was his sister's grandson he was accused of molesting. He was found 'not guilty' in a trial. Jack was always kind to me as a child (Jerry D. Abshier). He was a second cousin to me and sent me post cards and coins from the many foreign countries he visited. References
