My sympathy to the Bremer family. Jack was one of the first people to welcome me when I started with the Village and was a great help when I needed it. I'm sure his cheerful ways will be missed by all who knew him. Sue Connors

Growing up with and living next door to Jack on Grandview Avenue in Glen Ellyn was a positive and fun time. Jack was a great kid and a man of character. God bless my cousin and the Bremer family.

Jack was a dear friend for over 40 years and the time I spent with him will always be remebered fondly. Our motocycle trips around the midwest, our time chatting at the Glen Ellyn village garage, and or time together on Glen Ellyn PD all meant much. He will be missed.

Bremer Family,
I had just heard about the passing of Jack. My grandma Grace (Bremer) Bjork talked about Jack quite a bit. He was a good guy, I had an opportunity to work with several people that work with him at Village of Glen Ellyn Public Works, and no one spoke negative of him. He will be missed dearly.

I am sure that he is having a good time up above with the rest of the Bremer clan that have preceeded his passing.

Jack will always be remembered for his smile. That guy was ALWAYS smiling. I was lucky enough to see him at Ralph Napel's 80th birthday party. He was happy as always and it was fun talking with him about the old days at Glen Ellyn PD. I'm sorry to see him go but I'll remember his smile.
Please accept my sincere condolences.
