Godspeed Jeff!! Good guy. Had fun at the reunion, I could tell you were happy. Rest well friend.
So sorry to hear of Jeff’s passing. I always remember him as a very industrious and ambitious guy. Even as a teenager, he was busy running his own business while the rest of us were playing. I always admired his young ambition. My prayers are with his family, may God bless and comfort them in this time of sorrow.
