Jack was born in Oglesby, Texas, to the late John Bartley and Mattie Eula (Beaty) Guthrie. He was a 1948 graduate of Oglesby High School. In 1951, he enlisted in the United States Air Force, serving four years with one being in Korea. While stationed at McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita Kan., he met Elizabeth "Betty" Fields. On Nov. 28, 1954, they were married in Wichita. The first four years after his discharge from the military were spent attending Baylor University on a parttime basis at night. He was employed by Equifax in Waco and Temple for 34 years as an insurance investigator, retiring in 1989. During his life, many good times were spent with a few rough spots here and there which kept life interesting with some exciting moments. Over the years, the family remained close. Much of his life was spent in Waco and Temple. He enjoyed fishing at Lake Belton and playing golf poorly.
