Jack L. Mohler ’41

Jack died of heart failure on Sept. 29, 1996, at Ashbrook Nursing Home near his Scotch Plains, N.J., home. Virginia Nixon, his wife of nearly 56 years, survives. Together they had formed their own management and consulting organization in 1973, Jack Mohler Associates.

In college Jack ran cross-country, was a 150-lb. gridder, a member of Dial Lodge, business manager of the Nassau Lit, and the manager of the Furniture Exchange. He earned high honors in the Woodrow Wilson School. He roomed with Daubenspeck, Bob Wilson, and J. T. Scott. Following graduation he worked for CBS-TV, Westinghouse Broadcasting, WPAT-TV, and TVAR, a company he helped form.

In the Army he went from Camp Stewart, Ga., as a first lt. to Washington for training in military intelligence. Then came 17 months in the China-Burma-India theater, where he ended up a major. After working with the J. P. Cleaver Co., he was recalled to the Korean War for liaison duty at the Pentagon and the State Dept. He was in the Army Reserve for 30 years, attaining the rank of colonel in 1984. He was a member of the Princeton Club of N.Y., the Nassau Club, and the Reserve Officers Club in Washington, D.C.

In addition to Virginia, Jack is survived by daughter Liz Hunter and three granddaughters. His son, Jack Jr., died three years ago. We mourn the passing of a mercurial man.
