Jeff and I had a wonderful son together and I am so sorry to learn of his passing. He was a good man. Heaven gained another angel. One that was taken way too soon.

Jeff was one of my high school journalism students. I admired his strength and goodness as a young man and when I saw him later, I was so proud that he had carried that same character throughout his life. He was so very special-one in a million, a joy to know and as honest as the day is long. I am stronger having known him and I know, beyond a doubt, that he was a good, faithful husband and father. Bless all of you who were a part of his life.

Teri, Keith, Mildred, Jay, Karen and family, please find comfort in the thoughts and memories of someone who brought smiles to many others, as did/do all the Dormans. Jeff is now with Elwood overlooking you. I, too, was a member of MSUMC in Danville and I recall vivid and pleasured thoughts of Jeff and his family. My condolences to all of you ... in sympathy
