Jack & Lucy

John — “Jack” to everyone who knows him — and Lucy were married on September 11, 1976. What began with a shopping cart in a mall hallway became a family, a home, and fifty years of shared jokes.

Fifty years on, the formula hasn't changed: a clean division of labor and a very good sense of humor. Jack's the tinkerer and the fixer; Lucy's the organizer — the one who keeps track of everything, except the occasional charging cable or ceiling-fan remote. He buys, she finds. And they're still joking around and just being silly.

Lucy spent her career as an RN — the OB, the lab, and helping put stents in for heart patients — so she's the family's resident medic: ask for a bandage and she'll check your blood pressure first. Jack put in his years at Parker building hoses, and he'd still rather fix something than replace it.

They split the chores, too — dishes and kitchen duty trade off week to week, and when it's Jack's night, the kitchen sparkles like a disco club. 🕺🪩
