Posted | Contributed by Rick_UK

Jack Morey, the co-owner of Morey’s Piers in Wildwood, died last week at the age of 63, the company announced.

“It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Jack Morey, our beloved 2nd Generation Partner, and for the past three decades, the creative force behind Morey’s Piers. Jack wasn’t particularly fond of titles, but was the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Creative Officer, and, most importantly, champion of ‘it will be beautiful…we change everything’,” a statement from Morey’s Piers read.

He was so young. I know I met him at some point over the years at IAAPA (don't remember which year), and I remember him being very enthusiastic.

Like the generation before him, Jack Morey did SO MUCH for Wildwood.

Almost every decision in the Wildwood amusement and hotel business was solid and made the experience down there better.

Thank you Jack for enhancing so many summer vacations for so many happy people.

63 is far too young.

RIP! 63 is way too young. A lot of the reason I became an enthusiast was because of our annual summer vacations to Wildwood.

My parents were not amusement park fans, but knew there was something for the whole family there.
