With sorrow, we announce the passing of Jack Armstrong. Jack was a long time real estate agent, appraiser and Realtor, known for his keen knowledge of Squam Lake and most recently a member of the Peabody & Smith family. Jack passed away on January 18th. Jack was a long time member of the real estate community in Central, New Hampshire. He took over New Hampshire Colonials from his mother, Mary, and ran the successful firm along with his wife Dana for decades. As a professional real estate agent and appraiser, Jack's knowledge of the lake was tremendous - he knew every inlet, island, house and all the people. Personally, Jack was well liked by all who encountered him and were lucky enough to be part of his world. Jerry Love, a long time agent who worked under Jack and Dana recently said to me, "He was a gentle spirit. For me, he was an employer who became my close friend." I can say the same. I knew Jack for over twenty years, as our professional paths often crossed each other. Personally and professionally, I feel very privileged and blessed that I had the opportunity to get to know Jack, both as a colleague and as a friend. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dana, and the entire family. Services for Jack will be on Sunday, January 29th in the Chapel at the Holderness School at 1:00 pm.
