James Andrew Dreiling

He was always super funny, but quiet at family gatherings. He was also the only person out of my entire extended family that I shared a difference with. -Teresa's grandson, Aaryn Kroh.

Mr.Dreiling was my orchestra teacher and prior to that I knew him as my sister's band teacher. I never thought this would come so soon, and when I found out I was at a loss for words. Today I went to South high school, where he had taught me, and it really brought back memories. He always had a great story to share, and would make class something to look forward to. You are missed.

Mr. Dreiling was my orchestra teacher in high school. He was always so positive and upbeat. He was always encouraging. He always had great stories to tell. He taught us to count rhythms in a very unique way but we definitely remembered! I played violin back then, but as an adult I've learned to play drums. My success as a drummer is directly attributed to his methods.
I am sorry to hear of his passing. My sincerest condolences to all who knew and loved him.
