Sharyl and family,

I am very saddened to learn of your loss. I was friends with Jeff in high school and was fortunate to meet your family when Nick was still a baby. Jeff's pride and love for his family was evident in his voice as well as his actions. My heart goes out to you. He will always be remembered as a laid-back, fun-loving and fiercely loyal person.
