Loveland, Ohio – The Jack Quehl Foundation – DoItForJack was established in 2022 in loving memory of the beloved son of Tom and Stephanie Quehl, Jack, after his tragic death from fentanyl poisoning. His death was a devastating loss to his family and his many friends.
You are invited for coffee and pastries on Wednesday, May 7 by the DoItfor Jack – Jack Quehl Foundation to learn more about the Foundation, its mission and “the many ways they work to impact the fight against fentanyl.”
May 7th is National Fentanyl Awareness Day and we would love the opportunity to share more about the foundation, and the mostly unknown prevalence of fentanyl in ours, and all communities. This is not an invitation to ask for donations or contributions. The Foundation simply wants the community they live in to know them, be aware of who they are, and understand why they strive to be so visible. Your knowledge alone could contribute to the effort of saving lives that we strive for.

What drugs in Ohio may contain fentanyl?
All illicit drugs in Ohio — except marijuana — may contain the opioid fentanyl or a fentanyl analog that can cause a potentially fatal overdose. Half of fentanyl overdoses deaths are caused by mixtures with stimulants (meth, cocaine). High doses of prescription opiates — such as oxycodone, fentanyl, hydrocodone and morphine — may cause overdoses, too.
Who should order at this site?
Ohio residents who may be in a position to reverse an overdose should consider carrying naloxone. This is especially true for family members, friends, co-workers, neighbors and service providers in contact with people who use drugs other than marijuana. People who stimulants and non-opioid drugs (other than cannabis) are at significant risk of fentanyl overdose and should carry naloxone, as should people in contact with people who use drugs.
Can I order fentanyl test strips?
Yes. Please request them in the comment section when ordering naloxone. Fentanyl test strips will be added soon as an option to our online form.

A Loveland Magazine File Photo of Pat Furterer
Loveland, Ohio – Rosalynne Patricia “Pat” Furterer, founder of the Loveland Stage Company passed away on Saturday, April 13, 2024, at the age of 90.
Furterer was born in Chester, Pennsylvania and married Fred Furterer on February 13, 1954. Fred Furterer passed away in 2009. The couple lived in Pennsylvania and Michigan before Fred was transferred to Cincinnati in 1977. The couple settled in Pheasant Hills in Loveland.
Pat was a leader in community theater in Battle Creek, Michigan.
In 1979, when Pat realized that there was no community theater in Loveland, she ran an ad in the local paper seeking people who might be interested in starting one and gathered a group of eleven people who were interested in live theater, at her home in the Pheasant Hills subdivision. She continued in many roles with the theater company, as a performer, educator, fundraiser, set designer, Director, and mentor for 50-years.
To honor her legacy as the leader of the volunteer Board of Directors, she was named President Emeritus of the Loveland Stage Company in 2013.
She was the 2002 Loveland Valentine Lady. She was an officer and active member of the Loveland Woman’s Club; and she professionally worked for the Loveland Chamber of Commerce for several years.
Loveland’s Second Street in front of the theater added the honorary name of PAT FURTERER WAY on its street sign. She was inducted into the Ohio Senior Citizens Hall of Fame in 2022.
Pat won the City of Loveland’s Louis G. Rookwood Award and given a “Key to the City” in 1994. The Loveland Chamber of Commerce, now the Little Miami River Chamber Alliance, began a college scholarship program in her honor.
For her contributions to community theater, Pat won the Art Rouse Award in 2006 from the Association of Community Theaters of Greater Cincinnati (ACT). The Ohio Community Theater Association (OCTA) inducted her into its Hall of Fame in 2015.
Visitation will be on Thursday, April 25 from 3 until 5 PM at the Tufts Schildmeyer Funeral Home, 129 N. Riverside Avenue in Loveland. A services will be held at 5 PM.
The family has asked that in lieu of flowers, donations in Pat’s memory may be made to the Loveland Stage Company, PO Box 312, Loveland, Ohio 45140, or to the Loveland Woman’s Club Scholarship Fund, 119 N. Riverside Avenue, Loveland, OH 45140.
