HJRB Parents,
For those of you who knew Jeff Steinhaus and perhaps may not have heard, I am very saddened to say that he passed away yesterday morning. Jeff had been battling brain cancer since September of 2009. Jeff had been a great supporter of HJRB since the very beginning. He had served our program as an assistant coach, a head coach, and as Vice President for many years. He was also elected President just a month before his diagnosis, forcing him to step down to concentrate on his health. However that didn’t keep him from staying involved. With Tyler and Hayden playing on teams, he tried to attend all their games. He pitched in and became an assistant coach for Hayden’s team even with decreasing mobility. He volunteered his time to the board to help out with any tasks we could assign him. He went to township meetings to see about trying to get funding allocated to our program for field improvements. Basically he just wanted to be involved as long as he could and he will be sorely missed.
Please keep Joni, Tyler, Hayden and Carson in your prayers.
Here is a note on Jeff’s Caring Bridge Journal from Joni:
“It is with a very sad heart to tell you that Jeff passed away this morning. He was very peaceful and without pain. The boys and I were able to be with him and say good bye.
Visitation is Tuesday and Wednesday from 5-8 at Palmer Bush & Jensen on Holt Road. Funeral at Holt United Methodist Church Thursday at 11 am.
Thank you for all of your support and prayers this year. Please continue to lift us up as we go through this difficult time.”
Brian Kayser, President
Holt Jr. Rams Baseball
