Dear Pam and Family. My deepest sympathies to all of you. Jeff was a good guy and friend who was always ready to help whenever and however he was needed. He will truly be missed by so many family and friends.
Condolences to the Reutter family. I am so sorry for your loss and send thoughts and prayers. I hope you find comfort in your good memories. I am a friend and classmate of Jeff’s Mother and remember holding him when he was a few weeks old. May Jeff rest in peace. God bless.
If roses grow in Heaven Lord please pick a bunch for me. Lay them in my brother’s arms and tell them they’re from me. Tell him that I love and miss him and when he turns to smile, place a kiss upon his cheek and hold him for awhile. Remembering him is easy, I do it every day. But there is an ache within my heart that will never go away. Love you, Jeff!❤️ Teresa
I am so sorry for your loss. Jeff was such a good guy. I always enjoyed our spirited conversations. I admired his ability to fix whatever stray auto project I brought his way. Jeff was doing a job he really enjoyed. He will be missed so much by so many. He is being watched over by God and is safe in his hands.
