He was born June 3, 1947, in Chickasha, OK, the son of James Leroy and Ruth (Davis) Williams.

Jack was a biology instructor and director of the science and math department at State Fair Community College for thirty years. He earned a Masters degree from University of Missouri-Kansas City.
Jack was a very caring and loyal man, and was always there to help his family and friends. He was a skilled woodworker and especially enjoyed building furniture.
