Not sure what to say?

I will always remember the summers we spent together in Manaqua. While we did not stay in close contact, your mother’s friendship with my mother at Prescott remains one of her most significant relationships. I will keep you in my prayers always.

Sorry to hear about Jeff. I was friends with Jeff through Bob Kristie. I fished with Jeff many times. He trusted me enough to take me to one of his most secret catfish spots at Busse Woods. Once while I was working my wife called and said she got a flat tire on Oakton Street in Elk Grove. I couldn't leave work but I knew Jeff lived nearby. I called him up and he went right over there and changed the tire for my wife. RIP my friend.

I will miss you uncle Jeff and the memories I have with you when I was a little boy. I remember when we would come to Chicago you would pick us up from the airport, you would play Dean Martin, sing and dance in the truck with me. You had a infectious smile and you would glimmer when I would look at you. You took me on all my first fishing trips and taught me everything I know about fishing. I will always remember there time I got to spend with you. I know you had many life battles but that’s...

I have known Jeff for a long time. Allison and I grew up together. When they first met and got married, I was there. We used to go to their apartment and play cards and board games we had fun! Jeff was funny. He always made me laugh. I saw him a few years back and he was the same. I think really enjoyed making people laugh . He had a beautiful daughter Rosemary. And Ryan who turned out to be a great guy!! And I believe he always thought of Allison as the most beautiful woman in the world.

Rest I peace sweet Jeffrey! You will always be in my heart
