John “Jack” Hoisington of Madison Heights Glass, also a self-employed proprietor and glass dealer, died on November 28, 2017 at age 82.

He served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War before entering the glass industry. Hoisington was later recognized by the Glass Dealer’s Association for 50 years of excellence.

“Of the myriad memories that were enjoyed together, perhaps one of Jack’s favorite were the many car rides he would take his children and grandchildren on. And not merely enjoying the fun of the ride, but Jack just loved playing tour guide as he drove them by many of the glass projects he had been involved in and pointing out where he had left his mark on the city. Always, with esteemed and humble pride,” reads his obituary.

Hope that his soul will rest in peace. God is with Hime and us

Jack was one of the most wonderful, friendly, generous & kind souls I have ever known. I have had the privilege of knowing Jack for 50 years! When I think about Jack, I first see his amazing beautiful smile that he blessed everyone with and it would light up the room. Jack had a way of making you feel welcome and accepted. Always had a kind word to say to you and would recall a funny story from the past
