He was born on October 11, 1942 in Manhattan, New York to David and Sylvia Marshall Aronson. He attended Patrick Henry High School, receiving the honor of Class Valedictorian. He excelled in track and won a medal running in Madison Square Garden. Jack had his bar mitzvah at Park Avenue Synagogue, New York City, New York.

After serving his country in the United States Army, Jack returned to Manhattan. He was licensed and owned one of the coveted New York City Taxi Medallions. Later, he moved to Florida and began his successful career in insurance. Jack was a company leader in every insurance agency location he managed. After 40 years, he retired from Aegon Corporation. During his life and career, he earned the highest respect. He was dedicated to his company, customers, agents, friends and was held as a man of the highest integrity.

Jack craved knowledge and was always interested in helping others. By even the youngest, he was known as a Great Man! His sense of humor and wit was not lost on anyone. Mentoring was natural for Jack. He was gifted with a mathematical mind and a unique sense of timing. He loved the beauty of Florida’s Northwest Coast and was successful in developing and investing in properties along the coast.

After retiring, Jack met and married the love of his life, a gracious Southern Belle from Macon, Georgia, Sandra Bedgood Price. One of their proudest accomplishments together was owning and operating two childcare pre-schools in Woodstock, Georgia, Towne Lake Academy, North and South Campus. Jack chose to lay to rest in Macon, Georgia to await his wife, he fondly called Lulu.
