Jack Rosema was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan and moved to Grand Haven as a young child. His father managed the family farm in Ferrysburg where he began a dairy business. Jack recalls that prior to WWII, there were seventeen dairies in the Tri-Cities area and competition was fierce. Several years later, the business was moved to Nunica and then to Spring Lake. After the dairy was sold in 1957, Jack worked for the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department for twenty-nine years. During the interview, Jack also describes the North Shore area in detail along with life in various Spring Lake factories.
