To Jack’s special family:
We are so very sad to hear of Jack’s passing.  He was a truly lovely man.  I can hear his laugh and see his smile - always upbeat and ready to discuss education, politics, you name it!

All of you are very special to us and to our lives as we all “grew up together” in a fashion.  We please know you are in our hearts.  
And Godspeed, dear Jack . . .

Jeannette and Jim Schmidt

I was a 6th grade student of Mr.  Overmeyer's when he taught at Meadowbrook Elementary in New Haven.  He then was my daughter's kindergarten teacher at Monroeville Elementary many years later.  His son was also one of my daughter's gymnastics coaches. He was a wonderful teacher with a very kind soul. 

I was also a kindergarten teacher with Jack at Monroeville years ago. A great guy. He will be missed by all his former students and fellow teachers.

Mr. Overmeyer was a GREAT start for our sons. The boys always had kind words to say about him or school each day. Sympathies to the family on the loss of a super husband, father & Grandpa. He will be missed. Prayers for peace at this difficult time.

Mr. Overmeyer was my very first and all time favorite teacher.  20 years later he would frequent the deli I worked, he would talk with me with such grace and kindness, clearly remembering me by name. I feel blessed to have had such a great role model at such a young age. Rest in peace Sir.

Jack was my Kindergarten teacher at Monroeville. He was a great teacher who loved his students. At 31 I still remember Jack teaching 6 year old me a few tips and tricks when it came to drawing. In just 1 year he gave me a few memories I still hold on to. Respect to him and may he rest in peace. 

Forever imprinted in my memory is the mental picture of the kindergarten students following their beloved teacher like little ducklings as they walked out to the bus after school. It was clearly a special day when you were the student selected to be the one to hold his hand on that walk! What a positive influence he made to so very many. Thank you, Mr. Overmeyer.

Thoughts and prayers to Mr. Overmeyer's family and friends. I had the blessing of having him as a kindergarten teacher in Monroeville. Nothing but great memories. The best one is years later he saw me rolling a penny down the aisle of the grocery store while we were grocery shopping. Never failed everytime I saw him after that he made sure to place a penny in my hand to remind me he caught me!! 

My deepest sympathies to the family.  Mr. Overmeyer made my transition from a different school in the middle of kindergarten effortless.  He was always so fun and kind! 

Jack was a great teacher always loved us  kids Jack will be greatly missed 

Jack was a great teacher and a great person.  I highly valued his expertise as a member of the Board of Directors of the East Allen Co. Credit Union.  It was with great sadness that I learned of this news.  Wishing the best for Mary and the family.

Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Jack was a wonderful person and friend.  His genuineness will be sorely missed.  Rest in peace, Jack!

Jack was an awesome kindergarten teacher for the children at Monroeville elementary.  So kind,  understanding and helpful to the students.  My condolences and blessings to Mary and the family.  

What a privilege it was to know Jack and experience his educational journey with the young ones. As I was in and out of classrooms, it was always a joy to see the smiles, hear the laughter and observe the learning that was occurring; Jack loved his students, loved his profession and dedicated a career to preparing students for lifelong learning! 
My prayers are with Mary and the family at this difficult time! 

Mallory just shared Jack's obituary with our family.  We were all so sad to hear of his passing. You all were the best neighbors!  Both Jack and Mary always welcomed us into their home and were our go to for milk, butter, and sugar.  He had one of the greatest laughs!  I saw him at Aldi when I was with my parents a couple of years ago.  Needless to say we blocked an end cap for a bit catching up.  Thinking of you all  and hope you had some time with him that you'll cherish in this past crazy year.
