2021
Jack began in the automotive industry at Sill-TerHar in 1961, cleaning parts bins at the age of 7. His career progressed to cleaning floor drains and ultimately, during his high school years, was promoted to the lube rack. After graduating from Broomfield High School, Jack spent a short time as a clothing salesman at the Denver Dry Goods Company.
He returned to the family dealership in February 1973, and began selling cars. He was the proud caretaker of the Sill TerHar brand for more than 45 years. Jack takes great pride in the fact that Sill-TerHar remains an independent dealership, now run by Greg Larson the current caretaker of the Sill TerHar brand.
Jack has served multiple years on the Ford Dealer Council, where his position ended up being Product Chairman. His love for product led to recognition as Young Leader of the Year from the National Automotive Hall of Fame when he was 29. He also served on the Volvo Dealer Council and served as Chairman of the Jaguar Council. He was Colorado’s nominee for the 2010 TIME Dealer of the Year award.
Jack is most proud of his team at Sill-TerHar Ford, for winning the President’s Awards for customer satisfaction, which has been his number one priority for 47 years.
