After college, the two wed in August of 1970 and Jack graduated from Memphis State Law School in 2 ½ years. After graduation, and the birth of their first child, John Joseph Dulmer III, they moved to Venice, FL. He began his legal career with Charlie Cheeves, Richard Hazen, and Harry Rapkin.

He was a Mason, an active member of Grace United Methodist Church for 44 years, serving on various committees. He and Patsye had been attending Christ United Methodist Church since August 2017. Jack's heart for helping people was both a personal endeavor as well as a community focused one. He was a volunteer for Teen Court, was instrumental in helping form local service organizations, and he also coached his son John's teams on Venice Little League for many years. Jack loved the outdoors, sharing his many hobbies with family and friends. He was an avid sailor, racing to Mexico on the ""Scarlet Russe"" for several years. In his younger days he enjoyed racquet ball, running, hunting and fishing. But above all, his true love was golf. Our Jack was truly a ""Jack of All Trades"". As a father, he was always there for every game, every performance, ceremony and production. As a grandfather he continued with his presence and involvement, reveling in spending time with his grandbabies.
