He was born on Aug. 1, 1941 to Margaret (Foley) and George Reardon. He grew up in Portland and attended Portland schools. In 1963, he married Jo Ann Sanborn. Jack and Jo Ann met at Harmon’s Beach on Sebago Lake where they spent summers with their families. They also raised a family and spent over 40 years living on Harmon’s Beach in Standish.

While living in Standish, Jack worked at the SD Warren Paper Mill for over 20 years.

After that, they had a seasonal site at Seboomook Wilderness Campground where Jack would often go with his brother, Tom.
