William Jackson

It is with deep regret and sadness that I report the passing of William Jackson, teacher, coach, and mentor to many of us during our days at Haverford.  Coach Jackson died on August 12, 2025 in Raleigh, NC just short of his 90th birthday.  I stayed in touch with the Coach over the years and talked to him about three weeks before his death. Linda and I visited the Jacksons a little over a year ago in Raleigh.   I was proud to call him a friend as well as former coach.  His wife Donna indicated he wanted no service, celebration of life, or obituary.  I do not want to post Mrs. Jackson's contact information on our site, but if anyone wants to send a card let me know and will forward her address to you.  You can reach me at wnking@ptd.net or text at 973-459-8164.  Bill King

Theodore Keyser (Previously Report)

We are sorry to inform you of the passing of Ted Keyser, legendary coach and teacher at Haverford, at the age of 97.  By going to Legacy.com you can find Mr. Keyser's obituary.  At the time of his death, he was living in Laguna, CA.  Mr. Keyser was a very interesting and talented individual.  The members of his teams and students all benefited from the time they were under his guidance.

Thanks to John Salyer for bringing this to our attention.
