Jerrold “Jack” Loeffler (July 7, 1942 – October 21, 2013).
Jack was at his home on Holmesville Hill Road when he left us Monday morning. He is survived by his sisters Sally Supensky and her husband Lee, Chris Myrick, brother Gary Loeffler, children Rick Loeffler and wife Joan, Aaron Loeffler and wife Elena, Katie Gotham and husband Brandon, wife Nancy Wightman Loeffler, Anson Wightman, Eric Wightman, Robin Avolio and husband Dennis. His many grandchildren include Samuel, Collin, Aidan and Sabrina Loeffler, Gabriella Gotham, Lindsay, Maggie, Amy and Joe Avolio, Tanner Wightman and Alex Wightman. He is also survived by his former wife Janet Loeffler.
Jack was a lifetime resident of Chenango County. As a brother, husband, father, teacher and coach in numerous sports, he touched the lives of many. He was there with kindness and compassion during the difficult times, with guidance when we needed direction, with strength when we felt down and with laughter during times of joy. We are happy to have had him in our lives. His passing saddens us all. We will miss him dearly.
A celebration of Jack’s life will be held on Sunday, October 27, from noon until 3 p.m. at the South New Berlin Fire Department. There will be a prayer service at 1 p.m. with the Rev. Kurt Funke officiating.
Contributions in Jack’s memory may be made to the UVCS Scholarship Fund, for the Jack Loeffler Scholarship, Box F, New Berlin, NY 13411.
