Also surviving are his sons, J.P. (Paula) Schroeder of The Villages, Florida, Mark (Cynthia) Schroeder of Glenarm, and Steve (Patti) Schroeder of Lisle; seven grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his wife, parents, one brother, two sisters and two grandchildren.

Jack was a 1960 graduate of Trinity High School and 1972 graduate of Illinois State University. He worked 40 years for COUNTRY Financial in various accounting and auditing positions retiring in 2002 as a Senior Internal Auditor.   

To make a long story short, Jack was one of the good guys. He was old school, firm, but fair and family came first. He was a great coach, loving father and grandfather. He loved football and was a proud Green Bay Packer and ISU Redbirds fan. Jack was a member of Epiphany Catholic Church in Normal.
