Jack Ledbetter, Sr

Jack T. Ledbetter, Sr., 72, of Sinking Spring, passed away peacefully Saturday, June 15, 2019 at 8:00 pm in the Reading Hospital surrounded by family and loved ones. Born in Reading, he was the son of the late Clarence "Ben" Knepp and Erma "Annie" (Chirieleison) Knepp. Jack was a member of Holy Rosary Roman Catholic Church and was a local businessman, owner of Giacco's Pizza. He enjoyed any time spent with his family, especially his grandchildren. In addition, he also enjoyed collecting and restoring cars, and spending time with lifelong friends over a cup of coffee, at any local diner. If you were lucky enough for Jack to call you his friend, you knew you had a friend for life. Jack was a caring, loving, and giving man to all he met. He will be greatly missed by many. Some of the friendships he's made span over sixty years so when you think back on his life remember him with a smile and know friendships like these are rare and beautiful. Jack is survived by his daughter Catharine E. Morales, wife of Hector "Pete" Morales of Womelsdorf and his son Jack T. Ledbetter, Jr., husband of Beth Bruce of Sinking Spring and his grandchildren, P.J., Alec, Jacob, Madeline, Elijah, Adam and his great grandchild Mason. He is predeceased by his brother Michael Ledbetter Sr. Jack is also survived by his longtime friend Tricia Brady of Phoenixville and his former wife and lifelong friend Wanda Lilley of Womelsdorf.
