Jack Tabler Ambrose, 89, of Winchester, VA, left his earthly home to sit in the first seat in the first row of the Lord’s Kingdom. He was an exemplary gentleman and will be sorely missed by his family.

He was President of the Frederick County Rotary Club. Jack was a Harris Fellow. He volunteered for Camp Fantastic and was a member of the PEforerunners club. He enjoyed golfing in his younger years and was an avid Redskins fan. Jack enjoyed family social gatherings and holidays and loved going on trips and cruises with his wife (visiting Hawaii, Russia, Aruba, Bermuda, and other destinations.) He also loved dancing.

He is survived by his wife, Irene Polhamus Ambrose, whom he married on June 16, 2012, in Winchester, VA. Jack is also survived by his sons, Jon J.T. Ambrose (Jim) of Sagaponack, NY, and Todd Ambrose of Washington, D.C. When he married Irene, he became part of a large family, including 3 stepchildren, 9 step-grandchildren, and 16 step-great-grandchildren.
