Not sure what to say?

"To live in the hearts and minds of those we leave behind is not to die".
Jeff was such a kind, generous, funny
man who had a huge impact on my life.
I know he will be missed but will live on with those whose lives he touched.

I was so saddened to hear of Jeff's passing. I grieve for his devoted daughters, Kathy and Kristi. Nancy, Kathy, Kristi, Matt, Madelyn, Sammy and Annie, my prayers and thoughts are with you. May the Lord bless and keep you,

I was so sorry to hear of Jeff's death.
The last time I talked with him was last summer. Kathy, Kristi, Madelyn, Sammy and Anne, take comfort in the fact that he told me how much he loved all of you, and how proud of you he was. I am also aware of how much you loved your father, because every time he needed you, and reached out to you, you were there for him. God Bless You,
Mary Ann

I worked with Jeff when he was older at a pizza place in Grand Rapids, Michigan and there we all loved him. He could always make me smile, and he was like a cool Grandpa that was always there for you when you needed him. He is loved and will be missed!

I knew Jeff through his younger sister, Martie, who was my closest Bay View friend. Since he was older than I was, he was always this amazingly good looking "older guy," lean and blonde and friendly -- even to pests like me. I mourn his passing; I mourn Martie and Bob's grief; I mourn lives that are over too soon. May each and every person he touched be comforted and cognisant of his gestures, his intentions and his humanity. He will be missed.

I am so sorry. Although it has been many years since we were last together my memories of Jeff are vivid and clear. Our college years left a lasting impression which I will always remember.
