Jack worked as a sales representative in several different industries. He had a very outgoing and extroverted personality which served him well throughout his career. Jack attended the Memorial Lutheran Church, Shippensburg.

In his free time, Jack liked gardening around his home. He was an animal lover and tended to his own “herd” of cats. Jack was a sports fan, rooting for the Philadelphia Phillies and Penn State football and basketball. He loved spending time with his friends and families, and especially adored his grandson, Zack.

In addition to his wife of forty-nine years, Ann, he is survived by his son, Mark A. McCrae and wife Tammy of Harrisburg; his grandson, Zachary A. McCrae of Harrisburg; one aunt, Gladys McCrae of Chambersburg; numerous cousins; and many friends.
