Jeffrey R. Ruedinger

I can't believe that it has already been 2 years. I think of you everyday and am so grateful for being able to live in your home. I picked some of your..Moms flowers for you yesterday. I will always love you.

Jeff was a wonderful neighbor, friend and farming mentor to us for the last 20 years. Never one to complain, his unflappable good humor was a joy to experience. Knowledgeable about everything and expert at diverse subjects like computers, electronics and farming, his advice and counsel were unselfishly shared with us on many, many occasions.

We know he enjoyed his fun but he had more Boy Scout traits than many Boy Scouts: honest, trustworthy, fair, considerate, understanding,...

Meet Jeff at Neenah Foundry in the late seventies. We worked hard and partied even harder. So many good memories from those days. RIP. Your friend David.

The best man at my wedding 30 years ago, Jeff was so nice, so funny, seems like yesterday... True friends are the ones who never leave your heart, even if they leave your life for a while. Even after years apart, you pick up with them right where you left off, and even if they die they're never dead in your heart. So shocked and sad to hear of my old friend's passing. Great adventures and memories to look back on though, some nice pictures too...

I'm still in shock over Jeff's passing. Our relationship was my life back then. I wish i would have stopped when I drove by the farm and saw him working out front of his house last summer. If only to tell him how much he and his family influenced my life. I don't know if I will ever stop crying. I know I will never stop loving him.
To his 3 beautiful sisters, I'm sorry you lost you brother. I remember how he loved you and would have done anything for you back then. Our memories will stay...

I'm still struggling to grasp the fact that Jeff passed away. As far back as I can remember Jeff was a cousin that I always looked forward to spending time with. When we were young the holidays were always special because I knew we would be at the farm. As time passed and life became busier the opportunities to get together became less. Yet when Jeff and I would run into each other the talks would always drift back to the times when we were kids. So many wonderful memories of Jeff. My...
