I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My father, William R. Jefferson Jr., talks about his "Uncle Mutzy" all of the time. Although I did not know him personally, I can tell that he was a good man by the kind words that my Dad has spoken about him. God Bless and Rest in Peace.

Dear Ms Julia, Kathy, Bruddy, Dennis, Billy and Alan, We are so sad to hear of Mr. Mutzy's passing away and yet so grateful to be called and connected after so many years. We all talk of your family so very often, we cannot understand why it takes funerals and weddings to hear from each other. We will visit Mr. Mutzy and all of you this evening. Love, Irene, Sally, Joe and Mike Lease.....

My deepest sympathy to Miss Julie and family during this difficult time. Mr. Matt and Miss Julie were so kind and friendly to so many, especially my Mom before she died. I know your family will miss Mr. Matt. My prayers are with you all. Bobbie Marsh (family of Jessie Kohajda)

Words can't express my feelings. The world has lost the greatest man I have ever known. My Grandfather raised me as his own, although it was not his responsibility to do so. The role model he was to me has instilled me with the greatest morals and values anyone could ask for. At times I have fallen but he always showed me to get back up and move forward, and that no one is perfect. A piece of me has died inside, I will miss this man more then anything else in this world, I only wish I had been a better man sooner. I can only continue to strive to be as good as a father, husband and role model as he was. I love you Pop and pray you look down on us from Heaven with a smile on your face.
