John C. "Jack" Kreitzer

Claudia....this is your friend Joanne (Aungst) Prindle....I was looking for you and found this entry about Jack's passing. I'm so sorry...my love goes out to you and Carolyn.

I learned of Jack's passing in the OSU alumni magazine recently. After some surfing I found this site. Jack and I were friends from kindergarten through college. Then careers took us down different paths. We had some good times together. The photos I saw brought back good memories especially the one of Jack in his cub scout uniform. That was taken in front of our garage door. I have one of me just like it. My thoughts and condolences to all of Jack's family.

Barb,

I’ve tried to write up some thoughts. I am not sure whether they are appropriate for the minister or whether I should try reading them out loud. I might be able to do it – but we might need a backup plan. I’ve asked others to give you information – I don’t know if they have done that or not. Feel free to call me tonight – before 9:30PM or in the morning here (892-4925) or at work (418-2038).



I’ve attached my thoughts and I am putting them here too,...

Hi Barb,

Work takes me to Denver this week and it saddens me to know I will miss Jack's memorial on Wednesday. I also know that Katie could not get the day off from work.

I have a true story about Jack.

Keeler Sub Station was Jack's first field assignment and he was unfortuntely exsposed to Rex Lyon and Dave Relyea! Rex and I got wind that a photographer was on his way to Keeler to take a picture of a Craftsman on the job. We did not want to be in any picture; so we got lost and Jack ended up in the...

I have no story, but as long as I have known Jack and Barb I have been impress with the way they treat each other. Jack was so kind and soft spoken. You would think they were still dating. DOT…………….
