From Wisconsin to Florida, he took many family trips and excursions. He also would take friends, family, and even the occasional stranger on flights, especially if they had never flown before.

He was also a member of Zion Lutheran Church, Tau Kappa Epsilon, FOP, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), and Civil Air Patrol (CAP). He volunteered for many years at the EAA Oshkosh Airventure Airshow. Jack will be missed by his wife Jean; three sons, Mike Hildreth, Joe (Jennifer) Hildreth, and Sean (Sara) Hildreth; and seven grandchildren, Brady, Kayla, Emily, Abby, Luke, Jonas, and Jude.
