He was born on October 7, 1935 in Yukon, West Virginia to the late Berlin and Elizabeth (Hagerman) Smith and was raised in McDowell County, West Virginia by Berlin and step-mother Celia (Brown) Smith. As a young man, he left West Virginia for adventure and experience of working in the shipyards of Buffalo, NY. Later he joined the Navy where he sailed all over the world, traveled up and down the eastern United States, and lived in the nation’s Capital of Washington, D.C. while on assignment.

After his military service, Jack returned to West Virginia, lived a short period of time in Chicago, and ultimately settled in Mason County, WV to raise his sons Vincent and Michael with his wife Virginia. He worked as a skilled Electrician until his retirement in 2003. As a widower, he later relocated to South Chesterfield, Virginia and married Nada Smith.
