Upon returning to Pennsylvania, they moved to Peckville, on a street with truly wonderful neighbors. Jack worked for Gentleman Janitor, Skottie Electronics and Equipment Technology Inc. He also spent 30 years teaching in his church for the Sacred Heart Faith Formation, preparing young people for confirmation. He was loved by everyone, and enjoyed all children, being silly and making jokes.

He was also preceded in death by two brothers, Bernard and Richard Ehnot.
