Jack Kuchar
Jack has retired, but we just can’t remove him from our list! Jack Kuchar left a prestigious job with the city of Springfield, Illinois in 1988.

Jack has been called the “white tornado’ and has almost singlehandly built the Friendly Chapel Gymnasium/Buddy Building, remodeled 4 Houses of Hope, built the Children’s Kid Force Ministry props, and many additional ministries where knowledge of tools comes in handy.
