Jack Kerner passed away on Sunday, February 9. He was born in 1935 in Baltimore. Jack spent over 30 years with the U.S. Postal Service in Baltimore, as a Letter Carrier, retiring in 1990. He enjoyed traveling, especially to Gatlinburg, TN. In his younger years he played the sousaphone in the Baltimore Colts marching band, and was with the band at Yankee Stadium for the 1958 NFL Championship game, when the Colts defeated the New York Giants in overtime, in a game long known in NFL history as "the greatest game ever played". He was unique in that he never complained, never criticized others, and never put anyone down. Anyone who ever met him would tell you : he was the nicest man they ever knew.

He is survived by his wife, Mary Jane Smith of Martinsburg, WV, his brother Jerry Kerner (wife Marie) and sons Charles Smith and (wife Gudelia) of Harpers Ferry, WV and Thomas Kerner and (wife Julia) of Wilmington, North Carolina, and Daughter Amy Livering and (husband Dustin Livering) of Dallastown, PA.
