JOHN W. COOGAN '55

Jack Coogan, erstwhile English department chair and assistant 
headmaster at St. Mark’s School, died peacefully Aug. 29, 2010, at 
Beaumont Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Center in Westborough, 
Mass., of complications from a debilitating stroke. He was 77.

Jack prepped at Pingry. His Princeton professors gave him the tools 
to lead, with his wife, Mary, a teaching and coaching career in which 
many students sought their advice.

Jack’s coaching began with seven track novices on a meadow featuring 
one cow. He also coached football, tennis, and squash. In 1987, he 
wrote his vocabulary-building book for high schoolers, A Workbook of 
Words. Upon retirement, Jack joined SquashBusters, which offered 
after-school tutoring, education enrichment, community service, and 
even squash to disadvantaged youths.

On the passing of a distinguished educator, whose achievements are 
too numerous to list here, the class expresses its profound sympathy 
and sense of loss to Jack’s children,  John W. Jr., Craig B., and 
Melissa Coogan Abbott; two grandchildren; and his wife, Mary.
