Soon afterward he was invited to Officer Candidacy School ineewport, RI and spent five years serving his country as an Officer in US Naval Intelligence. Although his 30 year career was spent in consumer advertising, his many passions included sailing, photography, art collecting, writing, and study of theological history. He was a joyful 8-fingered jazz pianist who freely shared his gift at all kinds of gatherings. Jack was a man of great integrity who made a lasting impression on everyone who met him. He challenged others to think differently about the world around them, and he was tenacious in all things intellectual. He vigorously defied cardiac disease for decades, and put his whole heart into everything he did with much enthusiasm aneenergy. He loved his God, his country, his family, his dogs, and his friends. Jack continues to be loved by Beryl, his wife of 48 years, and three children including Allison Walp Dimsdale and her husband Todd Dimsdale, Mollie Walp Ackner and her husband Reade Ackner, and Davis Rosser Walp and his wife Mora Melican Walp. Six grandchildren include Callie Rosser Dimsdale, Hannah Walp Dimsdale, Kara Ashlyn Walp, Brenna Beryl Walp, Peter Davis Walp, and Owen Emmanuel Ackner.
