Not sure what to say?

Sorry I just heard about the passing of Coach Jed. He really made sports fun for me. At Mayfield. You will be missed, thanks for the memories Jed. My heart and prayers go out to your family.

I am so sorry to learn of Tom's passing. I had the good fortune of being in the same class with him in the fifth and sixth grades at Cleveland Elementary in OKC. No doubt if there had been a state championship for recess sports in an elementary school division, we would have been contenders in soccer, German (kick ball) or nearly anything else with Tom on the team! As we grew up, I did not see him much, but I cherish the rare moments later in life when our paths would cross -- at the Czech...

Always a special guest at our home. Anytime, then and now.

I feel blessed to have had Coach Jedlicka as my teacher at Mayfield Jr. High. He is one of the few teachers that made an impact on my life. He was a fun, kind and genuinely cared about his students. Thank you for sharing this wonderful man with so many students. May God give you comfort in your time of loss.

I will always love you forever, you are my sweetie, my life.

Every time I think of Jed a smile comes across my face. I was lucky enough to get to play softball and umpire with Jed. He always made the ball field a fun place to be. I never had to worry about things getting out of had on his field because he had such great people skills. I know that he is no longer in pain and in a better place but I am going to miss that smile that he always had on his face. To the Jedlicka family, know that you are in Jan and my prayers as you face this difficult...

Joanie,

I just wanted to let you know that I will be forever grateful to Jed for his kindness to both of my girls when they were at PC North! He was a positive part of their high school experience.

To Entire Jedlicka Family,

My heart and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time. I too just like so many others have such wonderful memories from Taft and NWC. May you find peace in knowing that he is no longer suffering and that Tom was truly a great individual.

Joanie, you probably don't remember me from Classen, but we graduated together. I saw this in the paper yesterday, and wanted you to know that you and your children are in my prayers. I use to run in to you at the Czech Festival yearly, and you always were so warm and friendly. Again, you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Betty Benningfield White
