Jack Lee Whitley, Jr., 71, of Bridgewater, passed away peacefully on Thursday, August 6, 2020, at the Bridgewater Home. Jack was born in Chicago, IL, on December 23, 1948, to the late Florence (Schoenbeck) and Jack Lee Whitley, Sr. Jack graduated from Bridgewater College in 1971 and married Mary Grimes in 1974. After graduation from college he worked several years for Piedmont Airlines at National Airport, now Reagan National. In 1972 he went to work for Dominion Virginia Power in Northern Division in Customer Service and Design until his retirement in 2008. Jack enjoyed the outdoors, little league and softball with his children, and was active in their church, McLean Bible, until moving to the valley.
