Jack and Whit grew up together and have been lifelong friends. But unlike Whit—who can be strong and forceful—Jack is more reflective and reticent to impose his points of view on those around him. He has been described as “painfully polite.” He is a mild, well-educated and well-mannered “gentle-man” in every sense of the word. Jack was recently married to Joanne Woodston, years after his first wife’s death, and the two manage an antique shop in Odyssey.
