I am stunned and very saddened to hear about Jeff's passing. We met in 1989 when I moved to Westerville from Toledo. Jeff was a mentor in business to me, and a great great friend. I express my deepest sympathy to Jackie and Jeff's entire family.

I have great memories of Jeff and I as youngsters playing. Those memories in themselves are proof that even in passing Jeff can bring a smile to my face
