Born in Milwaukee, May 12, 1924, to John and Elizabeth Schoenecker.   The youngest, Jack had two brothers Kenneth and Robert.  Jack married Marjorie (Bromberg) September 20, 1947.  He graduated from Marquette dental school and served the U.S. Army.  He had a private dental practice in Milwaukee.

You would find him regularly in the stands supporting his grandchildren and great grandchildren’s sporting events, on long bike rides including one to Door County, or playing golf.  Jack and Pat enjoyed traveling, especially Elderhostel destinations and with family at Miller’s Resort in Rhinelander, WI.  Most of all he enjoyed “Basketball Sunday” an annual tradition where family and friends would gather and play full court basketball at the home of Pat and Jack.  Jack was a member and served as an usher at St. Mary’s Parish in Elm Grove.
