I really cannot believe it. I can still hear his laugh and it was wonderful as it infected all of us. Our best to all the family.

I always thought of Jeff as a good friend, one that you might not see for a year, but when you met it seemed like only a week had passed. I truly enjoyed sharing our unique sense of humor and quirkiness, and have such fond memories of great conversations and foolishness at summer parties. I will miss him, Heaven has been blessed. Diane and all the family are in my thoughts and prayers, and I'm just a phone call away if needed.

Diane & Family,
For the thirteen years that I was associated with Jeff through my work with Dr. Dillon, I looked forward to Jeff's professional visits. He was always cheerful, amusing and helpful, never pushy or rushed during his calls to the office, all the while remaining interested and concerned. Jeff was a joy to know and a treasure to call "friend". His love for his family was evident and his commitment to sharing the best of himself with others always shined through his smile. May God grant you peace and comfort until you meet Jeff again through the miracle of Jesus Christ. Heartfelt prayers,
Mary Garber
