Jess "Jack" L. Stringer's Obituary
Jess "Jack" Luter Stringer passed away peacefully early Thursday morning March 15th surrounded by Nancy, his beloved wife of sixty years and his five children.
Born on January 6, 1936 in Miami Florida, Jack was a graduate of Miami Edison High School and obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmacy from the University of Florida in 1958.
His professional career spanned some fifty years including ownership of the Rexall Drug Store on Park Avenue where he was well known "on the avenue". He loved Winter Park and opened one of the first lunch counter restaurants appropriately named Happy Jack's Sandwich Shack. A successful business man, he led one of the first pharmacy benefit management models for Prudential as CEO of Integrated Pharmacy Solutions.
Jack was a compassionate and generous man with a strong wit and his greatest joys were his family and grandchildren. Saturday evenings at the "Stringer Ranch" were some of his favorite times, grilling, sharing commentary about the recent book he read or discussing college football.
Jack and Nancy shared their time and talent for many years at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church, acting as team leaders for Marriage Encounter, Cursillo and youth retreats. He was loved and admired by so many and cherished his many long-time friendships within this parish family.
He is survived by his wife, Nancy Morse Stringer, his children Douglas (Ann) of The Hague, Netherlands, Donald of Vancouver, WA, Jacki Bussey (Ben) of Jupiter, FL, Mary McNerney (Kevin) of Columbia, SC and Beth Tiernan (Chris) of Valrico, FL, his sister Shirley Jennings of San Diego and his 15 grandchildren, to whom he was affectionately known as "Papa Jack".
The family will receive friends Monday evening at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church in Winter Park at 7 pm with a prayer service at 7:30 pm. A funeral Mass officiated by the Rev. Richard Walsh, will be celebrated at St. Margaret Mary at 11 am on Tuesday, March 20th.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Jack's honor to the St. Margaret Mary Church Haiti Mission.
