Jack was born Dec. 15, 1918, in Ogden, Utah, to Leonard O. Bingham and Huldah Nordquist Bingham. He was their third child and only son.

Soon after his birth, the family moved to Salt Lake City where his early schooling was completed. He completed his pre-med at The University of Utah before accepting an L.D.S. mission call to the German-Austrian Mission. He was with the missionaries evacuated from Europe at the beginning of World War II. He completed his mission in the Central States.

After his mission, Jack attended medical school at the University of Pennsylvania.

Jack married Helen Williams in the L.D.S. temple in Salt Lake City, Utah on Dec. 30, 1943. They were the proud parents of five children, John Williams Bingham, Jeffrey Marvin Bingham, Susan Bingham, David Leonard Bingham, and Kathy Bingham. During this time, he served as Captain in the Army Medical Corp with occupation forces in Pacific at the end of World War II. He received an honorable discharge from the Air Force Reserve in 1971.

He began his first private practice as a family doctor in Kamas, Utah, in 1947. He later took his family to Idaho (where his favorite hunting grounds were.) He was in Blackfoot, Idaho for one year before taking over a family practice in Idaho Falls, Idaho in 1955. He practiced in Idaho Falls until 1983, when he semi-retired to St. George, Utah, with a group of emergency room physicians.

Upon full retirement, he and his wife accepted an L.D.S. mission to the Manila, Phillipines Mission as the area medical coordinator from 1989 to 1991. Due to failing health, Jack and Helen had just moved from St. George, Utah, this last April to be closer to family.
