I rented an office at 336 N Queen in Lancaster, Pa for 75.00 a month from Jack.I was a struggling young guy trying to start an independent insurance agency
from scratch. I will never forget Jack Trier. He was the best.

I first learned of Jack Treier in 1994 when his Allied Van Lines agent called my United Van Lines agent to service his customers in the Pensacola FL & Mobile AL area. I was so impressed by the commitment to quality and sound business practices exhibited that the memory etched into my brain. Twenty years later I met Jack as I joined his team when Armstrong Relocation acquired the business. I knew it had a touch of fate in it. It was a pleasure and honor getting to know Jack for 5-6 years as we kept an office for him. I have such immense respect for Jack, his business and how he handled the transition. Great person.

You always knew where Jack was, he was usually the tallest person in a crowd. Always a big smile and a bigger handshake for you. I’ll always remember the Christmas parties at my parents house, as you were a true present for our family. Rest in peace in the comfort of the Lord, cousin.

To the Treier family, sending my deepest sympathy to you, as you deal with Jack’s passing. I was saddened to hear this news. I have been friends with Jack since the 80’s. He was so kind and courteous, and treated folks as he wanted to be treated. I always enjoyed stopping by his company and sharing the latest news of the moving industry. He always had a smile on his face and a big handshake. One of the nicest men you could ever meet. RIP Mr. Jack Treier.

My wife and I are sadden to hear of Jacks passing. As everybody that knew Jack will miss his stories and his jokes and that big smile that could light up the room. Jack personsoifies the American Dream, it starts with your education, family and hard work and a belief treating people as you would want to be treated and you never forget where you came from. What words of wisdom, that’s how we will remmeber Jack Treier. God bless his lovely wife and family.
