Passing of former Penn State Wrestler and Football player Jack Inserra.

[Walkon86]

I am sad to report my former Penn State teammate Jack Inserra has passed. Jack was a 1981 New Jersey State Champion. He wrestled a few years at PSU and finished up playing football for Joe Paterno! He was an awesome human being and great friend! His son Jack Jr. is having a great year playing football at Bucknell.
Just has dinner with him. He talked about how happy he was with his life. He was recently engaged. His son was having a great year at Bucknell and he never seemed happier. He will be dearly missed.

Sorry to hear about your friend. I actually remember him from NJ wrestling. Didn't know he went to Penn State. Fantastic wrestler.

I am sorry for your loss.

I remember him a bit. Sorry to hear the news. I believe Birch Hall passed away a couple years back - also way too young.

Do you happen to recall a 2 year HWT named Dave Brenneman who was a freshman in 1982? I think Jan Johnson and those three all overlapped in the room.

Sorry for the loss of your friend. Sounds like a guy who was at peace.

to the above mention of Dave Brenneman; not to be confused with Dan Brenneman (Hollidaysburg) who wrested in the early 70’s.
