Actor. New York-born Jack Ayers spent his childhood acting on Broadway and some of his professional career working alongside the ad men of Madison Avenue. But he chose Atlanta as his home, after a job-related transfer moved him from the Big Apple to the Peach State. Jack Ellis Ayers died Aug. 16 from complications of a fall at his Buckhead residence. He was 82. An Army veteran, Ayers worked in radio and television production during his service, which is likely what led him to advertising, friends said. After several years in the business, Ayers retired from the day-to-day advertising world and became a consultant. He also explored other interests he had, such as cooking and sports.
