John C. Jansing, a part-time Jupiter Island resident and husband of a first cousin of former President George H.W. Bush, died after suffering a heart attack Tuesday in the living room of Bush's vacation home in Kennebunkport, Maine. He was 81.
Mr. Jansing and his wife, Shelly Bush Jansing, the daughter of (the senior) Bush's uncle James Smith Bush (Prescott Bush's brother), were vacationing when he collapsed late Tuesday.
Paramedics took Mr. Jansing to the emergency room at Southern Maine Medical Center in Biddeford, but doctors were unable to revive him.
"Jack was a wonderful man," the former president said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and their three children. Barbara and I will miss him terribly."
Shelly Bush Jansing on Wednesday described her husband as a good husband and father who enjoyed the company of friends.
The Jansings, who met at a house party in South Hampton, N.H., and were married for 48 years, split their time between Harbor Springs, Mich., and Jupiter Island, where Mr. Jansing loved to play golf.
"He loved golf and he loved people,: his wife said. "And people really loved him as well. He was very well liked."
Mr. Jansing attended the Augusta Military Academy and was a graduate of Dartmouth College.
He worked in the business sector <as Director of Vestaur Securities, Alpine Group, Lord Abbott Investment Trust, etc., all "wealth" management" services, with his partner William H.T. "Bucky" Bush*> and was once chairman of the Independent Election Corp. of America, a [shareholder] proxy tabulating firm.
He served in the Navy during World War II, his wife said. He still kept in touch with some of his comrades from the Navy and met them for reunions from time to time.
Besides his wife, Mr. Jansing is survived by his three children, John, Caroline and Christopher Jansing, as well as five grandchildren.".
