Jack Eisenstein died on Tuesday, Aug. 12, at home after an almost 4 year battle with salivary gland cancer. Jack was born in Atlantic City, the second son of Louis and Pauline Eisenstein. He graduated from the Atlantic City High school in 1943, served in the army, and upon being discharged, went to TCNJ via the GI bill. He received a Master's Degree from Rutgers and his Doctorate from Fairleigh Dickinson. Jack began his teaching career at Pleasantville and eventually taught at his Alma Mater. He became a guidance counselor and quickly rose through the ranks to become first, the business manager, and then the superintendent of schools, a position that he held for 19 years. He became an educational consultant and served with various organizations. He later became the interim superintendent of the Pleasantville schools, coming full circle.

He served on many boards and received numerous awards throughout his lifetime, two of which came from the schools he attended - TCNJ and the Atlantic City High School. He assisted many people in reaching their goals and took pleasure in seeing them succeed. On July 16, the Atlantic City High School Athletic Complex was named in his honor. Not only was he a product of the Atlantic City Public Schools, but also an avid supporter of the athletic program. This award tugged at his heartstrings, as he was always a VIKING.

He was predeceased by his first wife and mother of his three sons, Phyllis, his parents, Louis and Pauline, and his brother, Morris. Jack leaves behind his wife of 30 years, Antonia-Toni (nee Rich), his sons, Michael (Melissa) of Ventnor, Eric (Carole) of Mt. Laurel, and Paul of Longport; stepson Dr. Boyd (Susan) Dwyer of Maryland, grandchildren, Jessica, Phillip, Zachary and Matthew Eisenstein and Gregory, Michael and Kevin Dwyer; sisters-in-law, Helen Eisenstein and Phyllis Smith, and brother-inlaw, Wilt Bennet.
