Jack Roberts

Of Collingswood, NJ, formerly of Delran, NJ, passed away peacefully on September 10, 2024, at

the age of 95. He was the beloved husband of the late Margaret “Peggy Jean” Roberts (née

Nicholson). Devoted father of Doug (Susan) Roberts, Ron (Lisa) Roberts, and the late Danny

Roberts. He was a cherished grandfather to Erika (Sam), Daniel (Veruchka), and Cambrielle and a

loving great-grandfather to Margaret Jean, Emerson Danielle, and Celine Inaiz.

Jack was a proud graduate of Rutgers University, after which he embarked on a distinguished

career with Janney, Montgomery, Scott, where he rose to become Executive Vice President, having

served as a stockbroker and office manager. Known for fostering a warm, family-like work

environment, Jack mentored countless brokers and financial advisors over the years, leaving a lasting

impact on his colleagues and the industry.

His passion for service led him to the Kiwanis Club of the Haddons (formerly the Kiwanis Club of

Camden) in 1951, where he remained a member for over 70 years. Jack held various leadership

roles, including club President from 1989 to 1991 and Lt. Governor of the New Jersey District of

Kiwanis International from 1995 to 1996. He earned the prestigious George F. Hixon Fellowship.

He was recently awarded the Kiwanis Legion of Honor for his 70 years of service, making him the

longest-tenured Kiwanian in the New Jersey District. Jack and Peggy Jean traveled the world

together, attending international conferences and fostering global friendships through Kiwanis.

A dedicated member of Delran United Methodist Church, Jack served as Chair of the Financial

Committee and was a valued advisor. He also lent his expertise as a board member and advisor to

the Girl Scouts of Central and Southern New Jersey, reflecting his deep commitment to

community and youth development.

An avid golfer, Jack found joy on the golf course whenever time allowed. Above all, he will be

remembered for his unwavering devotion to his family, his gentle and kind spirit, and his remarkable

leadership—qualities that touched everyone who knew him.
