John "Jack" R. Brockell, age 73, of Newark, DE, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, July 24, 2012 at Beebe Medical Center in Lewes, DE. He was born in Elkton, MD on November 9, 1938 to Charles R. & Edna Brockell.
Jack is a 1957 graduate of Elkton High School. He attended Wesley College and the Delaware State Police Academy and was a Delaware State Trooper for 20 years until retiring in 1988. He then worked for MBNA as a Security Specialist for 10 years.
Jack spent his retirement divided between Newark and Lewes, DE, where he passed away. He was totally devoted to his family and at his happiest with them. He was a devout Christian and loved the Lord.
