Allentown Central Catholic High School social studies teacher, longtime cross country and track coach, and former State Representative John F. “Jack” Pressmann died at the age of 56 on July 24, 2009, after collapsing while hiking on Mt. Langley in Eastern California. The hike was a fund-raiser to benefit inner city youth participation in wildlife activities. Jack was the head cross country coach from 1997 and head track coach from 1998 until his death. Following his death, Jack’s family and friends formed The Jack Pressman Memorial Scholarship Fund – a non-profit based in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
