Not sure what to say?

Rhonda & Betty, I have such fond memories of spending the night & the boys wanting to be in the middle of us playing a duet on the piano! So sorry for your loss & so young. You all are in my thoughts & prayers.

Dear Shelia, So sorry for your loss! My prayers with you and the family!

Betty, & all of Jeff's loving family, My heartfelt sympathy to each of you. Remembering all the fun just watching these 4 boys grow up & to be the good Christian men they are today. Hold all these memories of Jeff close to your heart as we all will. My prayers are with you in the days ahead.

I had the pleasure of working with Jeff in my position as System Director of Career and Technical Education for the Two Rivers Career Education System and also as Director of Career and Technical Education for School District 117. He was a terrific guy and such a pleasure to work with. I'm sure he will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers go to his wife, children, and grandchildren.
