Jack Kersting

Coach Kersting was my football coach at Saint Louis Univ. 1969-72. An outstanding individual in every way. I walked on from New Jersey and he started me every game. Which made my dreams come true and fulfilled my Jesuit education. I am forever grateful. God bless him and the family Kerry Mucci #15

Dear Rita and Family, I am so very sorry to learn of Jack's passing. I was visiting family up north when it happened. I have so many fond memories of the good times we had while all of us were at Alhambra. Jack was very special and you both were wonderful friends. I still have colleagues remind me of how they enjoyed hearing Jack sing at our Convention - "Wind Beneath my Wings" became very special to Leon and he requested it for his own funeral - no one sang it like Jack. My sincere...

To jack Kersting's family;

I am so sorry for your loss. My sister and I use to belong to St. Louis the King and enjoyed the music while singing along with the choir. Jack will be missed.
I pray all will go well for you and yours.

sincerely,

Dear Rita and family
It has taken me two weeks to get over the fact that Coach has passed away. Every person should have an opportunity to meet someone in life who truly makes the colors of life brighter, the songs of sounds vibrate, and the goals of life meaningful. Jack was that person for me. He was that person for hundreds. And I am sure he was that person for your family. Rita, I echoed much of what his other players at SLU did at our reunion 18 months ago -- I now only wish that we...

Rita and Family,
Rose and I are sorry for your loss
Jack and yourself are wonderful people. We really appreciate you and his dedication to St Louis the King. We listen to the tape we bought when father mac was a St Louis. Jack had an amazing voice. He will be greatly missed but we know he is with the lord.
Love, Tom & Rose Vyles

Jack brought happiness to his family and to many many others.
Thank you Rita for sharing him with us. He was a great coach and a wonderful inspiration to many.
Our prayers are with you and your family. He will not be forgotten.

Rita and Family,
It was my pleasure to have known and worked with Jack in the Tennis Arena for the last 10-12 years or so. What a great man and always there for the kids. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this most difficult of times. May your hearts be filled with many wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate Jack's life well-lived.

Rita and Kersting family,
Sadly we will not be able to attend the services for Coach Jack in St. Louis, but Rita, we wanted to express our condolences to you and the children. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to speak with you. Our fondest memories of Jack will be the duets that he and Patty sang at our CBC reunions! She says it was like singing with Dean Martin again! Do you remember Rick and Carol Balducci being moved to tears at that talent? We are better from having the honor to...
