Not sure what to say?

Jeff understood racing and he understood people. I sure miss going to the drags and talking to Jeff in suite 516. I attended every year from 1999 - 2011 and always looked forward to seeing everyone at Bristol. As Jeff would always say: " same time next year." What a guy. I really miss him.

The finest human being I have ever met!

Last night I made a list of people I had not talked to for a long time and wanted to reach out to them and Jeff was on that list. I can't tell you how shocked I was to learn that Jeff had passed today.
