Not sure what to say?

I can only say that I miss Jeff being at St John's Parish. Whenever it snows I saw Jeff outside bundled up and shoveling the snow. He kept the walks clear so that people coming to church wouldn't fall etc. He always
said good morning and asked how was the family. Just so lt you know, I still say a daily prayer for Jeff and the Van Haren family. Hello to John. Bailey and Carter. Carole Zakrzewski

We will miss seeing Jeff at Mass at St. John's. He was a gentle, kind friend who will not be forgotten.

I have known Jeff since he was about 12 and a bagger at the Farmer Jacks Grocery Store. He retired from EMU last year after many years. He has always been a hard worker, friendly, and helpful. Anytime there was a snowfall at Holy Trinity Chapel or St. John the Baptist Catholic Church he would be their with his shovel. He will be missed by us and anyone who knew him.

Jeff - You have the warmest soul of anyone I've ever met. Genuine and thoughtful, you never had a bad word to say about anything or anyone. I'm happy you are home with Jack, Joyce and Julie; I can only imagine that reunion. Goodbye for now dear friend, rest easy in the arms of our savior!

you will be missed our gentle giant! We love you and know you are at peace with our lord Jesus Christ!

I am do sorry to hear about Jeff's passing. As his manager at EMU, I can definitely say he was a dedicated worker and a great person. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
