Jack William Metcalf, age 70, of Rosemount, MN, joined the Lord and his parents on December 29, 2017, after passing from natural causes. The eldest child of Melvin and Dorothy Metcalf, Jack was born on January 3, 1947 in International Falls, MN. As a young boy, he excelled in academics and enjoyed spending time with his family and extended family. At 15, he began dating the love of his life and future wife, Cindy. Jack graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Business and soon after entered the Air Force as a ROTC graduate.
