Dearest Barbara and family,

Jeannie telephoned Mark and I with the news of Jack's passing. Please know that our prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time. We will always remember the wonderful family reunions at Uncle Irvin's and Auntie Emme's home. Mark and I have flown back to Colorado for a quick trip, since Mark requires surgery.

Sending hugs and love,
Mark and Mary (Brendemuhl) Schlueter

To Barb and the Reichert Family,
I was very sorry to hear of Jack's passing. Even though I only took care of him for one day at Fairview Southdale, Jack and all of you made a big impact on me. I was so moved by how every one of you showed your love for him...I could tell the minute I walked in the room that your family was something special. Please know that my thoughts and prayers have been with you this past week. God's blessings in this difficult time.

The Turkey Bowl will never be the same without Jack stopping by and offering his unique insight on the game, as well as, how Father time has treated us all. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Barb, Scott, Lisa and Troy; My heart and thoughts go out to you and your families. Your Husband and Father Jack has instilled great memories of my upbringing in Edina. Shooting hoops in the driveway, coaching hockey or just sitting at the kitchen table talking about current childhood issues. He was always an encouraging voice to me and my friends. Jack made a great impact on many of us kids who came to the Reichert home. I wish him peace in God's kingdom and strength and comfort to you Barb, Scott, Lisa and Troy.

I only know of you through your son, Scott, who has always spoken so warmly, affectionately and admirably of his Dad. I hope and pray the coming days and months are warmed by the memories of a man who surely loved his family, and left behind a legacy of kindness and integrity. Your family will be kept in our prayers.

Barb-
We wanted to tell you how terribly sorry we were to hear the news. He made an impact on all of us. I always enjoyed seeing him all decked out in his Eden Prairie Grandpa gear, and a huge smile on his face as he came to the sporting events. Please know we are thinking about you, and if there is anything that you need.. please let us know!

Barb and Family: Wish we were still on Josephine at times like this so we could give you the hugs, kisses and handshakes you need right now. We have such fond memories of our little neighborhood and always remember Jack's most hearty laughter. Know that he'll always remain a part of you and now watches over each of you.
