Personal Life
After an assortment of jobs in his early adulthood, Dyer joined the police force in 1934. He married Sybil McCasker in 1939 at St Ignatius Church, Richmond. Dyer served in the police for almost a decade, before becoming a publican in Port Melbourne, then later owned a milk bar.
On 8 March 1940, Richmond announced that they had refused the recently-married Dyer a clearance to coach VFA club Yarraville; and Dyer stated that he would not cross to Yarraville without a clearance.
He and his wife Sybil had two children, Jack junior (Jackie, born 15 December 1940) and Jill (married name Devine). Jackie had a brief career at Punt Road from 1959 to 1961, playing three games, but retired from all football aged just 23. Following Sybil's early death in 1967, Dyer spent many of his remaining years living with his daughter Jill, and never remarried.
