Jack A. Neff Jr.
OBITUARY
Jack A. Neff Jr., 69, of Alsace Township, passed away on Monday, September 8, 2025, surrounded by his family’s love. Born in Reading, he was the eldest son of the late Jack A. Neff Sr. and Georgine (Ebert) Neff. Jack graduated from Oley Valley High School and Berks Career and Technology Center, and built a lifelong career with his hands, retiring as a journeyman plumber with Blankenbiller Plumbing and Heating.
Jack was an avid outdoorsman, endlessly fascinated by wildlife. He hunted the Pennsylvania whitetail deer, loved snakes, fished at Antietam Dam, and later found peace birdwatching from his patio. A devoted Phillies and Eagles fan, he also pitched in the Merchant League, was a longtime member of the Reading Hunting Club, and enjoyed time with friends at the Alsace Manor Social Quarters, West End Fire Company, and Union County Sportsmen’s Club.
In 1976, Jack met the love of his life, Nannette (Neithamer). Together they transformed their two-acre property into a showcase of his stonework and her gardens, a reflection of their devotion and partnership.
Jack was a loving husband, an adoring father, a proud grandfather, and the most loyal brother and friend. Honest, reliable, and guided by impeccable morals, his presence was always felt, appreciated, and valued. His strong, confident smile could light up a room, and when directed at you, made the world feel right. He loved deeply, and his memory will continue to light the paths of those who were blessed to know him.
Jack is survived by his wife of 48 years, Nannette; children Jennifer (Eric) Daly and Zachary (Tracy) Neithamer; grandchildren Jackson, Josephine, Elizabeth, Lenora, and Parker; and brothers Thomas and Robert.
