One of Alderson-Broaddus College's most loyal alumni and former coach and teacher has lost his battle with pancreatic cancer.

He was preceded in death by one grandson, Chad Armstrong and sister-in-law, Dorothea Funk. Jack was very close to his family including his nieces and nephews and many cousins
Jack graduated from Jane Lew High School, Alderson-Broaddus College and West Virginia University. He served in the U.S. Army in San Francisco, Calif. He served as recreation director of Wicomico County in Salisbury, Md., for four years. He taught and coached at Alderson-Broaddus College for 32 years.
