To: Elaine, Jackie, Lisa, Debbie and families.
Jack loved you all so much. It has taken me awhile to write something that would make sense. Jack had such passion for his family, friends, work and especially play. I do not understand why God felt he needed Jack in heaven more than we needed him on earth. I will miss his smile, hugs and laughter and I will never ever look at a bouquet of mums without thinking of Jack. I will hold onto all my fond memories of him and promise to keep in touch with his wonderful, loving wife, Elaine. My love to my dear friend, Jack and his family!

Uncle Jack;
You left us way too soon. After my father's passing I was comforted by knowing you would be there for us. But God had other plans for you bringing illness to you soon afterwards. Your struggle has ended and you have now joined my Dad. Hopefully, the two of you are building a house for all of us in Heaven as you did here on earth. (I'm sure you're disagreeing on how it should be done and then having a beer together at the end of the day.)
I'll always cherish are many moments together. There are too many to recall. Eating Paladino's hoagies (with extra provolone just for me) at Phillies games. "Attempting" to a eat raw oysters in the French Quarter (took a whole beer to get them down.) Making fun of you because you wouldn't get out of the van in Kitty Hawk, NC. because you were afraid your hair would blow around. There were many other experiences and trips culminating in our six-week adventure in Alaska.
And let's not forget the many parties, picnics and festivals we attended together (many of which I don't remember leaving.) You weren't just my uncle, you were my friend and buddy. Say hello to every one. Get that card game going with my Dad, Warren and Grammy & Pappy Herber (play nice now!) I'll be seeing you.

Nana Niedermeyer and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss of PopPop Niedermeyer. He was a very loving, caring, and terrific PopPop. Although I did not live right around the corner and did not have too many opportunities to visit both of you, I always loved hearing your voices via the telephone especially PopPop Niedermyer, he always brightened my day. He will be sadly missed by me and my mom, Monica. My Grandma and Grandpa Hawk are sorry for your loss as well. Love You, Nana

We were so sorry to hear about Jack - he was a fine person and a gentleman. We got to know him as a meticulus craftsman while he worked replacing the windows in our house over a three year period. And it was in that time period that he became seriously ill and was unable to work for quite a while. I still remember his testimony, giving God credit for healing him of that illness. Peace be with you.

Debbie and Family,
My sincere sympathies are with you and your family at this very difficult time. I'll never forget your dad's smile. Always joking and goofing around with us when we were kids. Both of my parents have passed away within the past year and 1/2 and I know how difficult it is. Find comfort in knowing he is smiling down on all of you, healthy and happy in Heaven. Love, Barb (Allen) Renner

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Our thoughts are with you at this time. From reading your Dad's write up it sounds like he was quite a man, especially being an Outdoorsman who liked to hunt and fish. Our best to you ,your family, and Austin and Rachel, Kopy's buddies.

Dear Elaine & Family,
We are deeply saddened by Jack's passing.
He did a lot of work on our home & what a wonderful craftsman he was. Everything done properly, so neat and tidy. We will have a hard time finding anyone to fill his shoes when we need things done in the future.
In addition, Jack was a fabulous and very decent gentleman. They don't make guys like him anymore. How very proud you all must be of him. We will miss him.
May God give you peace & strength during this difficult time.
