My heart goes out to the family. I am so very sorry to hear of Jack’s passing. I will always remember his smile and wit as we visited in the yard at Scott’s home. He made me laugh so often as I listened to his stories.
I know he will be missed greatly by the family, but he will always be in the hearts and minds.
Words cannot express our sadness, Jack was such a light. He made a great impression on our family from the youngest to the oldest. We will miss him terribly. Chris and family you have our deepest condolences and will be in our prayers.
One of the most caring, generous, and thoughtful people I’ve ever met. His life centered around God, family, and his country. Uncle Jack, you were a true inspiration to the entire Struckhoff family. You will be missed deeply. Rest in peace and God bless you’re family during this difficult time.
Jack will be missed . Always sat at our Holtmann table on events. He made us laugh and showed friendship to all of us. He always had a smile and put one on everyone’s face. He was full of faith Heaven will have a wonderful angel watching over us. Prayers and our condolences to the family.
An amazing great uncle, so saddened for your passing. You brought warm hugs, laughter, love, and iconic 1$ bills to all family gatherings. We will miss your smile and your joy, we love you and will carry your spirit forever
Met Jack on a double-date in 1954, My date for that evening later became my wife, [nee] Reinhart. Visited with Jack when he was a Navy guy in GUAM.
His love of Jesus was inspirational.
My prayers and to Chris and the family!
GOD BLESS!
Chris, so sorry to hear about Jack’s passing. I did not know him, but friends of ours from Ameren that did know him spoke so kindly about him. You and Jack are in my prayers.
Uncle Jack will be truly missed. His dedication to God,friends ,family and country was quite impressive. For hosting family dinners, facilitating family picnics, card games,, all to bring people together.. His ability to bring laughter and joy in the midst of personal hardship and grief was so helpful. This will undoubtedly be a celebration of a life well lived. He was the definition of a servant and it raised the bar for all of us to strive for.We will miss him and never forget the lessons he taught us.
God bless and comfort Aunt Chris,Lisa,Scott and Anna. Love you all
Aunt Chris, Lisa, Scott just know Heaven is a lot happier place when Uncle Jack walked through those Gates. The values that Eugene and Clara Struckhoff gave to their children will carry on forever. I will sadly miss him as all, but we all come together at the end. He certainly was a man of all men! Uncle Jack is now an angel that will touch lives in the future.
One day, a long time ago, I was talking to my Grampa (Francis Buchholz) about the man I was dating. I wondered what Gramps thought about him. Gramps said “He puts me in the mind of Jack.”
Gramps really liked Jack.
If Mark Meyer reminded Gramps of Jack Struckhoff, then I guess e would be a good guy. We’ve been married over 40 years. Thanks, Jack!
I was so heartbroken to learn of Cousin Jack’s passing. He was an amazing man, so kind, one of the nicest people on the planet, and he was so wonderful to Dad. I loved him dearly. My prayers, thoughts and condolences to Chris, Lisa, Scott and your families. Wishing all of you peace and comfort.
Chris-my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Jack was a great friend to the Holtmann clan and we will all miss his kindness and generous spirit.
Chris,

Deepest condolences to your family!

Jack,
The entire neighborhood and your many close friends and acquaintances will miss you and your generous personality. I can only guess that heaven needed your help so God wins! None the less, you will be missed and your memory is preserved in our hearts until we meet you again!
Jack was a really great guy. I know Chris & family as well as all who knew him will miss him.
My Uncle Jack was the kindest, most generous and Godly man. It is still hard for me to believe that he has passed. He was a rock and I thought he would live forever. He was always there to help when needed. He held our clan together over the last several years as he was the last of ten to pass and go to his heavenly father. Uncle Jack, I love you more than I could ever express. I am so sad but I know you are ecstatic because one of your many goals was met. You are with all your loved ones who have been patiently waiting for you. Tell them all I send my love.
I knew John from the barge business when he sold marine coatings and paint. He was always very kind and a perfect gentleman. Rest easy John!
Jack was very special to me, he had a true heart of an encourager, of one who knew how to lift your spirit. I have only known Jack for around 4 years, and he quickly became one of my biggest supporters and a dear friend. On one of my last conversations with him, he offered to pray with me. It is a big comfort to know that Jack is now in the midst of the glory of Christ, he is surely smiling up there, probably lighting up heaven with his smile and humor. I will miss you, Jack, thank you for always being a kind friend. Until we meet again!
Bill & Rose Grossenheider January 21, 2025 at 8:00 pm Our deepest sympathy , thoughts, and prayers to Chris and family at this difficult time. God said well done great and faithful servant.
I knew John Struckhoff as a Christian and a believer and heard of his naval service and his support of veterans that started our club’s yearly event to honor veterans! He always had a humble and humorous approach to get things accomplished for our club, South County Republican Club. Thanks, you will be sorely missed!
Our thoughts are with Chris and family. Jack was a wonderful gentleman with warmth and good humor and we are saddened at the news of his passing.
I am so sorry to hear of Jack’s passing. He has always been such a great neighbor! I will miss his presence on Gregory Ct. He was always lending a helping hand! He was so friendly and hard working!! My heart goes out to his family during this difficult time.
