I remember all of the Jeffries' family from Cradock, from school days in the fifties...a fine family with lost of athletic talent...especially remember Dickie from Little League baseball at James Hurst...I watched, he played.
He has lived a long and good life with many people who remember him fondly.
My sympathy to his family and many friends who are mourning his loss. May he rest in peace, and be remembered for his kindness.
