Jack Salter
It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Jack Salter – a great man, a compassionate leader, a dedicated servant and the founding director of our organization, Metro Detroit Youth Clubs, originally the Boys Club of Royal Oak. Jack was surrounded by family this morning as he made his transition.
Arrangements are still being made but they include visitation on Sunday, June 20th at Sullivan & Son Funeral Home in Royal Oak. Mass at the Shrine of the Little Flower Catholic Church on Monday at 10 AM followed by a gathering at the Jack & Patti Salter Club in Royal Oak located at 1545 East Lincoln in Royal Oak.
Please keep Jack’s wife Patti, his children and extended family in your thoughts and prayers during this time.
