Jack was born November 9, 1942 in Clinton, MA, the son of John and Helen Manning of Fitchburg, MA. He attended Notre Dame Catholic High School and graduated from the University of Connecticut. He met his wife Nancy at his first job in the insurance business and married and relocated to Kansas City in 1965.

He and Nancy were members of St Joseph Catholic Church for over 40 years.
