Dear Mary Jo and Stephanie:
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. I will always treasure the many memories and hearty laughs that I had with Jeff, starting with our days in 1959 at the Philadelphia Museum College of Art, our Easter Vacation jaunt to Ft. Lauderdale in 1961 and the reunions we had through the years since. May he rest in peace and may his memory continue to give you inspiration and motivation in the future, tempered with a lot of the smiles and laughs Jeff shared with all of us in the past.

Dear Mary Jo and Steph...
What can be said? Jeff was a close dear friend. Once I escaped from Scranton and met Jeff in our Freshman year at PMCA, it was a quick connect. We have remained friends ever since. I'm saddened by his sudden passing and I will miss him. His humorous spirit will always be part of my memory. My heart felt sympathy I extend to both of you.

Lucille and I are so very sorry for your loss. As you, we will all miss Jeff.
What can be said at a time when you lose someone you've known and have been a friend with for almost your entire life.
Having lost many friends and classmates over the years, which Jeff was both, makes one realize how valuable a friendship and the fond memories that came with knowing that person can be. Thankfully, we will always have those memories.
Please take care and Lucille and I will call...
