I'll never forget the first time I met Jeff. I was ushering mass (Christmas Eve?) at OLGC and one of his boys had just thrown up. Jeff walked to the back of church, larger than life as he always was, and he wanted to know where that vomit powder was. I found it and gave it to him, not daring to say a word! A few months later we were assigned to do the once-a-month counting for the mass contributions together. I asked if it was too soon to mention the first time we met. He laughed and from then on we enjoyed discussing and fixing all the world's problems, once a month in the basement of the rectory. We ended up coaching together all of his boys for the Tiger Club in legion league. Jeff and Shirley hosted the season ending party every year at their house. These were some of the best memories for me and my family. I am a better man thanks to Jeff, Godspeed to you sir! Blessings to Shirley and the entire family...

Friendly & pleasant gentleman.
I saw him often enjoying a coffee with Mike Lehnert at Panera. My grandsons & I often went to Panera for breakfast & would greet Jeff & Mike.
