I am blessed to have been given the opportunity to serve Jack and Marjorie Tueller, they have forever made a lasting impression of Love in my life.

I was blessed to have been associated with Jack Tueller for a number years while he was the leader of the YMIA in the Falls Church,VA Ward. I was one of his counselors/assistants. I loved him like my own father and sometimes more because of our association. Obviously, we lost contact over the years but I could never forget him and as a pilot for United Airlines, I was always thinking of his life as a fighter pilot (an ace and no bullet holes in his P47). He had a huge influence on my life and...

JACK WAS AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN. ONE OF THE NICEST PEOPLE YOU COULD EVER MEET.
HE LOVED HIS WIFE AND FAMILY AND SPOKE OF THEM. IT WAS AN HONOR TO KNOW A TRUE HERO.

What a wonderful funeral! It was so special to hear each of you children express the love and devotion you have for your father, especially when you referred to him as your hero. I can see why he was so proud of each of his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. What a beautiful posterity!

He was a very special hero of mine in my young life. I loved him and his brother, Bob, so much. They were my baby sitters when I was very young. Then they were called to serve in...

Mr. Tueller was such a kind and enthusiastic man. We had a school fieldtrip at the Bountiful Park two years ago and he shared his passion about America and loving one another. I was so touched by his goodness. I am sorry for your loss and also so grateful we got to meet him and be influenced by his happy soul!

Jack was such a blessing in our family. I have magical memories of sitting in our backyard, listening to those beautiful big band melodies wafting through the air. We will miss his stories, music, optimism and enthusiasm. We are happy that he has been reunited with his beloved Marjorie. Love to all your family.

Jack was our host at the Hill Air Force Base Air Museum

Dear Tueller Family,

Jack and I became acquainted five years ago when he stopped to talk to me and my infant daughter at China Star. I'll never forget it was December 7 (Pearl Harbor Day) and Jack was wearing his favorite hat (Colonal Jack). He spoke to me about Marjorie and his time in the Air Force as a fighter pilot. I was so intrigued with his stories and the peace I felt around him that I looked him up a few days later and asked if we could visit some more. He was gracious as ever...
