Funny story that l think Jeff would love for me to share. You see Jeff is a cousin of mine that l only met once in person, and seeing him scared the stuffin' out of me!!!! My Uncle Al, his father, was not a easy man to love and that it my way of putting it mildly .....so turning the corner in my aunt's house and seeing Jeff, WHO LOOKS JUST LIKE HIS FATHER, scared the stuffing out of me. Lol
He and l sat down and talked, especially about his wonderful wife and kids.... he was so sweet, kind, witty, and everything his mom was.
So from then on, we exchanged Christmas cards until one year after he passed. Wished we all had time to get together.....he was l year younger than l am now when he passed.
God blessed you all.

Although I didn't know Jeffrey well I do remember playing softball with him years ago. I do know Dot and Al very well as my father worked with Al at Bethlehem Steel for a number of years. My thoughts and prayers are with Jeffrey and his family.

Linda, Andrew & David,

I am deeply sorry for your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that at this time you will have a happy thought of Jeff in your hearts and know that the entire family is there with you in spirit.

My thoughts and prayers also go with Uncle Al, Aunt Dot, Bobbie, Jeanne Michelle, Jerry, Shirley,and their families. It is such a shock to hear about Jeff.
I had the pleasure of talking with Jeff a few years ago, and after the shock of how much he resembled Uncle Al wore off.....we had a great time. He was such a personable guy. After that time, I starting receiving Christmas cards from you and your family. It was so sweet of you and I hope that we continue to stay in contact.

If there is anything I could do for you, please let me know.

With Love,

Kari, Lou, Nick & Brian

Linda, Andrew & David,

I am very sorry that you have lost your husband and father, he was such a wonderful man. My thoughts are with you at this very difficult time in your lives. My thoughts and prayers are also with Aunt Dot, Uncle Al, Jerry, Shirley, Bobbie, Jeanne Michelle and their families.

I was sharing with my husband the first time that I can "recall" meeting Jeff. I remember walking into Aunt Gin's kitchen and being surprised by how much he resembled Uncle Al. After the shock wore off.....we sat and talked for a long time. He was so witty and charming. And from that time on, I had always received a Christmas card from you and your family. I thought that it was a shame that we didn't live closer and spend more time together and have a chance to meet you and the boys.

Please let me know if you ever need anything.

With Love,
Kari & Lou Topper & Boys
