Jack was a family man. He loved camping, dancing, South Carolina beach vacations, playing cards, and rooting for the OSU Buckeyes. He was very sociable and treasured his friends and work colleagues, especially his “gang” from high school and members of the various Fire Departments. He and his wife were great hosts to many parties. He loved his Italian heritage, including the food, and never met a sweet treat or dessert he did not like.

Jack’s professional career started in Columbus and then he returned to Canton in 1971. He served as an administrator at numerous hospitals (St. Anthony’s and Children’s in Columbus, and Aultman and Mercy Medical in Canton). He was on the faculty of OSU and served as Deputy Chief of Canton Township Fire Department, retiring after 72 years of service. He was known as the “Father of Emergency Medical Services (EMS)” for developing and implementing the first statewide training program in the nation, which served as the foundation of modern Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) services. He authored two textbooks on emergency medical care, developed the Stark County paramedic training program, and advanced training programs in Ohio and other states. He trained countless people on various EMS topics. He was very active in numerous organizations and held many local, state, national, and international board positions (Red Cross, United Way, American Heart Association, Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce, Boy Scouts, Unique Club, and numerous fire and emergency medical councils, committees, and associations). He received countless awards for his dedication and advocacy in advancing emergency medical care and for his commitment to the community. In 2007, he helped establish the dental program at Mercy Medical Center to ensure exceptional and affordable family dentistry needs were met. In 2018, The State of Ohio EMS board honored him with the first “Jack B. Liberator Lifetime Achievement Award” which is awarded annually to recognize someone integral to the field of EMS. He served in the U.S. Army Reserves for 24 years, was the chief nurse for the regional Army Reserve Command and retired as a Colonel.

The family would like to extend their deep appreciation to Bethany Nursing Home and Crossroads Hospice for their loving care.

 We are Fire/EMS and nursing professionals, both paid and unpaid, from all over Ohio who gather 4 times a year to further our education and enjoy comradery with each other. Our goal is to honor, serve and educate those in public safety.
