Jack was born on February 1, 1941, in Wichita Kansas, to Helen Lorenzen Prosser and Harold Prosser. He grew up in many various states and towns but ended up in Denver CO at the age of 17.

Jack met Marilyn Hartzell when he was 15 years old. Moved away to California and when he returned, he located Marilyn and they married 9 months later, on June 1, 1962. They celebrated 54 years together until Marilyn’s death in 2016.

Together they moved to Delta in 2010 after he retired from the Denver Post in Denver CO. He has been a resident of the Western Slope for almost 15 years. After settling in, Jack decided to take a part-time job at the Devils Thumb Golf Course, where he worked for 8 years, until his wife became so ill that she needed constant care. His interests were golfing, working with wood, projects of various nature, photography, fishing, camping, landscaping, and just being busy. His favorite and most important things in his life were GOD & his family. He loved both with all his heart and soul.
