Jack was born in St. Louis, MO to the late John "Jack" Anthony and Lorna Angelbeck. He was preceded in death by his sister, Betty (Clarence "Bud") Koeller.

Jack attended CBC High School and was a Hall of Fame member and contributor. He started a legacy that his sons and four grandsons all attended.

At 18 years of age, he began his entrepreneurial journey by owning his first business, a service station. Soon after he started his business Pack-Rite Packaging and Crating Company and subsequently Threaded Nail Corporation, St. Louis Helicopter, and Beech Manufacturing. Jack was a past president of the National Wooden Pallet and Container Association as well as the Missouri Forest Products Association.

Jack loved and cherished his boys and instilled in them a strong Catholic foundation. Jack was one of the founding people of Linda Vista Montessori School in Chesterfield, MO. He enjoyed building cars and spending time boating on the river with his sons. He faithfully attended their sporting events from baseball to soccer. Most weekends were spent at their home on the Lake of the Ozarks, skiing and coving out with the family, beginning a tradition of love of the water and boating.

In 1985, he was introduced to his love of Clydesdales by Mindy and Carol which began their business of Bluffview Clydesdales, in Troy, MO. What started out as small hobby grew into a business of breeding and showing. Jack was very involved with the National Clydesdales Breeders Association and was a past president and inducted into their Hall of Fame.

Jack and Carol moved to Ocala, FL in 2004, where they purchased an equestrian farm and continued to raise and breed Clydesdales as well as other breeds. He continued his love of building and maintaining the property. They spent 49 years working tirelessly side by side and were each other's best friends and were the love of each other's lives.
