The Bayport Fire Department regrets to announce that Ex-Captain Jack (JR) Ruehl has answered his last alarm.

Jack (JR) Ruehl passed away in his sleep after a long illness that stole his strong personality. He was a multi-faceted human being. He served in the Air force, traveling many times overseas during the Marshall Plan years. He sang in the Air Force Chorus for several years as a classical baritone. He played the violin, was a great carpenter, boater, and also a small plane pilot.

He leaves four children Kristin, Katie, John and Kim, and their spouses, his nine grandchildren, as well as his longtime companion, Helen Farnan.  

In lieu of flowers, please send any donations in John's name to your local hospice facilities

Services for Jack will be held at the Bayport Fire Department Park Building on Sat. January 26 11am - 1pm.
