Jeffrey Scott Riesmeyer M.D.

Jeff helped onboard me to one of Lilly's research programs that was in full swing. He was an amazingly patient teacher, even during those stressful times. I will always remember his intelligence and calm, gentle demeanor. He was a rare figure and is sorely missed.

I grew up with Jeff in Crown Point and had a lot of fun with him. A kind soul even back then. Too good of a man to have been taken so soon. May all the great memories sustain you all in your grief.

Jeff was my ex brother in law. The short time I knew him, he was a good man. Always very nice to me and my family. He will be missed. R.I.P Jeff.

Jeff was amazing- bright and wonderful to work with. Jeff will be truly missed by his Lilly colleagues. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers during this sad time.

Jeff was a good friend back in high school.
I especially remember driving with him in that gold Pontiac Bonneville to Davenport, Iowa to an Eric Clapton concert. Tony Bass was with us as well as a few other guys. It was a memorable weekend!
I also got to know his father Herman and sister Pam later on in life. Great people. Praying for the family at this time. ~Joe

Jeff was an amazing, kind and very thoughtful person. I know your family will miss him so much! We are so very sorry for your loss. I want you to know the world was sure a better place with Jeff in it. I am so glad I got to know him and will always treasure his memory.

To Jeff's family and all who loved him. It has been decades since I spent time around Jeff, but my memories are actually quite dear. He always seemed to appreciate my quirky sense of humor and that made me feel accepted and valued. It is a rare quality indeed. A man with so many career achievements and yet, he was more about listening than talking, again another admirable trait. My heart is swollen for you all. I am certain his empathetic nature makes the loss so incredibly personal. ...
