To Ann & family, Sue & I want to extend our sincere condolences in Jeff's passing. I had the privilege of working, riding day trips & just hanging out w/ Jeff & you over the last several years. A very down to earth guy he was, saying what some of us only thought. Be confident in knowing Jeff, his mom, Russ & others we lost too soon are together once again. He was a good friend & the memories are forever.

Anna, I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry for your loss. I often think of you and remember the great times Paul and I had with you. I have told the story of the Christmas tree a hundred times when Jeff came home with that scrawny tree. It was a shock to hear of Jeff's passing. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
