Memories and Condolences

Not sure what to say?





Oh man, Jeff - one of the really great people I have known throughout my life. My next door neighbor growing up and a true inspiration. Here was a guy who never let his disabilities slow him down. As cruel as kids can be he just laughed his way through the teasing - and got the last laugh as he became educated, successful, and had the biggest heart of anyone I know. Every time I went back to OC I would look for him because he was always happy, positive, and a joy to be around. I'll miss you Jeff. And my heart goes out to all of the family. You guys hang in there. Eric Wilkinson
