Despite his small frame (5'8, 145 lbs), Sack was a very gifted quarterback, quick and agile. He joined the Comellos in 1937-38. He later worked in the insurance industry, labor relations, and was even employed by the FBI. Married to Kathryn Mullen, and later to Dolores Sack (1917-1980), Sack died in Cincinnati in 1987.
