Jacob David Liebert

Jacob "Jack" David Liebert, 90, of Chesterfield, NH, passed away comfortably at home surrounded by his loving family on May 16, 2025. Born in the Bronx, NY to Moe and Johanna (Katz) Liebert, he graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School before earning degrees in History and Philosophy from New York University. He went on to pursue a PhD in Intellectual History at the University of Chicago, where he spent five years completing a dissertation on La Rivière's political theory. Jack's greatest talent was his remarkable ability to connect with people—a gift that served him in life and career. He began his lifelong journey in the financial markets on Wall Street in 1966 where he worked as a broker for several prestigious firms. Both the ticker tape and chance to build relationships formed the basis for the rest of his career in financial advising spanning almost 50 years, culminating in the founding of his own successful company, Liebert Investment Management, at the age of 71. In 1974, Jack met the love of his life, Geraldine, in New York. They left the city and married in a meadow in the Berkshires. Drawn to the countryside, they eventually settled in Westmoreland, NH, where Jack single-handedly built a beautiful post and beam home for his family. He raised four sons: Mark, Jed, Jonah, and Elliot, who were his proudest accomplishment. A true renaissance man, Jack's interests were as varied as they were passionate. He derived great joy from building things, whether it be a house or an old Volvo. Throughout his life he also loved swimming, films, reading science fiction, and most of all, talking to people. He ran two marathons and was an avid cyclist. He is survived by his beloved wife of 51 years, Geraldine; sons Mark (Claudia) Liebert of Mamaroneck, Jed (Mao Mao) Liebert of Amherst, Jonah (Mairead) Liebert of Hasting-on-Hudson, and Elliot (Lacey) Liebert of Westborough; grandchildren Ahnkai, Anmei, Camila, Marcel, Cian, and Sadie. A Celebration of life will be held on Sunday, June 29, 2025 from 2PM to 5PM at Heberton Hall, 60 Winter St, Keene, NH 03431. All services are under the care Cheshire Family Funeral Chapel, 44 Maple Ave. Keene. www.cheshirefamilyfh.com.
