Please accept my condolences in the passing of Mr. Rumohr. May your memories provide you comfort. Mr. Rumohr was my government teacher at Zeeland High School and instilled a love of history in me that has persisted.##imported-begin##Ingrid Verhagen##imported-end##
Of all the coaches I have had, (I had many) Jack Rumohr was the best I ever had, period. I loved that man and have thought of him often through the years. If you were fortunate to have met him through the years, I am pretty certain you feel blessed for that experince.##imported-begin##terry hop##imported-end##
Joan, We share your loss of your husband and our friend! The hours of playing golf, travel, and sitting having a burger or a steak while drawing plans or new ideas on every napkin in sight. Great memories with a very special person! May God sustain you through this time of transition.##imported-begin##Hal and Karen Cutshall##imported-end##
Jack, you know how I felt about you as a business partner and a dear friend. Thank you for the honor of doing your service today. It was a great honor and I believe that you would have been pleased. We will take care of business here on earth. Enjoy all those "holes-in-one".

Jack Rumohr was one of the finest teachers I've known. I met him when he came to speak to an education class at Hope College. He talked about the built-in "crap detector" that students have. It was largely because of Jack that I was hired as a teacher. He left a very positive legacy at ZHS.##imported-begin##John Norden##imported-end##
JOAN,
I CANNOT EXPRESS MY FEELINGS ABOUT MY FRIEND JACK AND HIS PASSING AWAY. IT SEEMS AS IF IT WAS ONLY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THAT JACK, VERN LAMPEN, TOM PRATT AND I STARTED TEACHING AT ZEELAND HIGH SCHOOL (1960). WE HAD GREAT STUDENTS, STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS. TEACHING WAS FUN AND JACK ENJOYED NOT ONLY THE STUDENTS BUT HIS BACKGROUND IN SPORTS WAS HIS PASSION. I SPENT TWO YEARS AS THE J-V BASEBALL COACH AND I KNOW HOW MUCH HIS SKILLS AND SPORTS ABILITY MEANT TO HIS PLAYERS.
THE MEMORIES ARE MANY. MARY WILL ATTEND THE MEMORIAL BUT, I WILL BE THERE IN SPIRIT. A STROKE WILL PREVENT MY ATTENDING.
GOD BLESS YOU JOAN, CLIFF AND CARRIE;

Jack was one of my favorite teachers when I was at ZHS. He had a way of making you think to defend your view and position. He was a great guy and he will be missed!##imported-begin##Mrs. Linda (Timmer) Land##imported-end##
