Omigosh, Jeffrey and I went to school together in the 60's. (St. John's).
He was such a good friend, and he and I got along so well together.
He was unique, and I have n'ere forgotten my friend. I only now learned of his passing.

Just so you all know, Jeffrey had a great sense of humor back in those days. We had a GREAT time as friends.

I can recall our teasing the teachers .. it was a hoot! I shall miss him. God Bless Jeff. See you in Heaven, bud.

I am saddened to learn of Jeff's passing. I hadn't seen Jeff in almost 40 years. I worked for his father, Jack, at DOT. I send my condolences.

Lifting the McAvery Family up in prayer. Lee, Alison, Terry, Amy and Danny. There are no words that can provide any of you with the comfort you need nor fill the empty space in your heart you are feeling, but there is one who can and I pray He surrounds all of you with His love and grace at this difficult time.
