Jack R. Conover, Sr. “POPS”

On February 26., 2021 of Washington Twp.  Age 74.  Beloved husband of Cindy (nee Adkins) for 50 years.  Devoted father of Suzanne Conover (Ed), Stephanie Dougherty (Randy), and Jack R. Conover, II  Loving grandfather of Tiffany, Joshua, Jayson, Jonathan, Erin, and Allyson.  Proud great-grandfather of Logan.  Dear brother of Kenneth Conover (Georgina).

Jack was born and raised in Blackwood, New Jersey. After graduating high school he enlisted in the Army and served in the Vietnam War. After the Army Jack was a New Jersey State Police Trooper for 32 years where he retired as a Lieutenant. Shortly after joining the State Police he met the love of his life Cindy of almost 51 years.  After retiring from the State Police he worked for Deptford Honda Yamaha and then Caliber Collision until March 2020. After that time he and Cindy opened Shore Delights Ice Cream in North Wildwood.

Jack enjoyed spending time with his family in every aspect of life, especially Sunday dinners. He was an avid hunter and a lifelong member of the Buck Run Gun Club. He also enjoyed fishing and tinkering outside. His real passion in life was being a racing “Pop”. His love for micro sprint car racing started in 1992 at Airport Speedway in New Castle, Delaware with his son Jack and then with all his grandkids. Everyone truly loved the time spent with him. Jack was more than a father to just his kids but to everyone that met him, which is how he got the nickname “Pops”! He was one of a kind and will truly be missed! His family would like to send a special Thank You to the Physicians & Nurses of the Inspira Hospital of Mullica Hill.

Family and friends are invited to attend his visitation Saturday 1:30-3:30 PM at the Egizi Funeral Home, 119 Ganttown Rd., Washington Twp.  Funeral service 3:30 PM.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Jack’s memory may be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Association, 1415 Route 70 East, Suite 502 Cherry Hill, NJ 08034.

Please share memories and condolences with the family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Conover family in their time of grief. I worked with Jack at Mantua Station in the early 80’s. He was a good trooper whom I recall was always willing to help the public and the junior troopers like myself. Rest In Peace comrade and I will see you on the other side. God Speed

Hi Cindy and Family... Was truly sorry to hear about Jack's passing. I worked with Jack at several stations, over the years, and always enjoyed working with him. I don't know when Jack retired, but I've been out for 27 years...so, it's been "that long" since I've seen or heard from him. My condolences to all of you. I know God will bless him for, among other things, being such a wonderful husband, father and great grandfather - "Pop"! I can't attend his service, I'm in quarentine..just out of the hospital with covid. "So long Trooper!" 2023

Pops I couldn’t ask for a better father in-law. It’s funny after 30 years I have watched your hair go from dark to grey and you always blamed me for that. And you know I’m OK with that. It was my honor to spend the last 30 years with the entire family and you made me feel like I was one of your own. Thank you for everything that you have done for Stephanie the kids and myself. I have always wanted you to be proud to call me your son in-law. I will miss you Pops. Until we meet again.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I had the honor to spend a few years getting to know Pops and his family. It didn’t take long to discover how great a man Pops was and his family didn’t fall far behind. My deepest condolences goes out to his wife Cindy, Sue, Stephanie, Jack Jr and all the grand and great grandkids. God speed Pops!
