John Davis “Jack” Pointer was born in 1935 and grew up in New York City. His great great grandfather established the first Jewish congregation in the South Carolina colony when he immigrated in the 1760s. The family later converted to Episcopalianism. His grandfather was a journalist for The Denver Post, his parents were artists, and Pointer was a mechanical engineer.

Jack Pointer was interviewed by students from Skyline High School in Ann Arbor in 2010 as part of the Legacies Project.
