Rest in Peace, Jack McGreevey – InsiderNJ

Mayor Dan Reiman of Carteret announced via social media on Thursday that Jack McGreevey, father of former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey who served from January of 2002 to November of 2004, has passed away.

While no specific information was available as to viewing or funeral arrangements, Mayor Reiman expressed his condolences and prayers to the family.  Jack McGreevey was a United States Marine in the Second World War as well as the Korean War and had served as a drill instructor.

Reiman said that McGreevey had “served as Grand Marshall of our Memorial Day parade a few years ago and was an active member of the VFW. He and his wife Veronica were longtime Carteret residents. They met at Seton Hall University and were married for 62 years, until her passing in 2018.”

McGreevey is survived by three children–James, Caroline, and Sharon–and grandchildren Morag, Jacqueline, Christopher, and Catherine.

“I have ordered all flags in the Borough be flown at half-staff in Jack’s honor,” the mayor said, marking the town’s mourning for one of their most prominent families.
