I didn't know Jeff very well, but any time I drove down our bumpy road past his house he would smile and wave to me. He was a good neighbor. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Cool family. Rest in peace, Jeff.

Ms Gail, Emery,Sonya and Kim,
I am sorry to hear of Jeff's passing. Even though I have not seen Jeff for some time I cherished him as a friend and a brother. As Annie and Jeanne said St. John's would not have been the same for all of us without Jeff. I have many memories of great fun and trouble that we caused at St. John's and quite a few spankings from the nuns. Perhaps my fondest memories were the sleep overs in the garage converted to a loft that Emery and Jeff shared. It was and honor and privilege to share those childhood days at St. John's with you Jeff! RIP my friend.

I am so sorry to hear about Jeff. He was my very first boyfriend at St. John's. He would pick me up on his bike and take me to Burger King and spent a lot of time talking on the phone. My thoughts and prayers go out to all who loved him. He was a great guy!

So sorry to hear about Jeff's passing. St. John School would not have been the same without him way back then. We would see each other at Walmart and he always had that grin of his. He will be missed. My prayers and my families prayers go out to all of you.

I didn't know Jeff, but I went to Catholic High School with his brother Emory. So very sorry for your loss... I've had to deal with many deaths due to cancer, and the only words of comfort I can offer is that he is no longer suffering and that is truly wonderful!!
