Not sure what to say?

To Norma and the rest of the family, Just a thought to let you know that Jeff is still in my thoughts and prayers everyday and especially today on the one year anniversary. Love, Gina (Strongsville)

Jeffery- what to say? You were my friend, confidant, critic, cheer leader, best man. A known quantity in such an uncertain world.

We grew up together, so much alike and so different. You the artist, the flyer. Me the engineer, grounded. You brought color to so many areas of my life that were black and white.

You were funny. Stand-up funny. A razor wit- I will always have quick-witted come-backs with me. But you weren't just funny. You were smarter than you gave yourself credit...

To his family, you have my deepest sympathy and condolences.
Jeff was truly a friend and a special person who affected my life by him being him. He made me laugh; was honest, caring and in his way, very loving. For those of us who worked and relaxed with him, we always knew we could depend on him, he had our back. He used to call me "Chopped Liver" and how he nicknamed me that I will always remember. I will think of him and how he made the glasses on his eyes with his hands... just...

Norma and Dean,
I was very saddened to hear of Jeff's passing. I am struggling to think of him as a grown-up, let alone as an grown-up who could be gone. He was a kid who was always full of fun, the world will be a little darker with out him here to make it fun.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

Norma and Dean,
I am so sorry for the loss of Jeff. I will always remember that he brought music to my wedding reception! What a unique and thoughtful brother.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Our deepest sympathy to your family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you

Norma, Ed, and Dean,

I was so sad when I learned of my cousin Jeff's passing. I have many fond memories of Jeff through the years: He always lightened the mood with his quick wit and humor; he took me to my first rock concert when I was 14; and helped me hook up my first stereo. He loved getting people together to have a good time. He will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love Mark

When I worked with Jeff in Cleveland, he was a wonderful boss. He and I shared many, many good times together. He always had a joke,and was truely a good friend. I am a better person because we crossed paths. I'll miss him.
