Jack Herman Unger, 83, of Muhlenberg Township, died 12/13/14 in St. Joseph Medical Center, surrounded by his loving family.
He was the husband of Jacqueline Ruth (Miller) Unger, whom he married November 22, 1952.
Born August 1, 1931 in West Reading, he was a son of the late Herman Alfred and Marian Etta (Seeds) Unger.
Jack was a 1950 graduate of Muhlenberg High School and a 1958 graduate of Industrial Management Institute. He also attended Albright College.

In his younger years, he had a passion for farming, hunting and playing high school and college football. He was always an entertaining storyteller and singer.
