To the Aiken Family: i remember Jeff as a fellow student at the Univ. of S. Carolina in the early 1950s. We had several classes together. Jeff was very congenial, most considerate of others and assisted me with one course in particular. I had just returned from the Military and Jeff gave wise counsel in study habits of college which was most helpful to me. I have always remembered his words of practical wisdom. My sincerest condolences in the loss of your loved one, May our Lord give you guidance, comfort, strength and love as you surely miss him now and in the days ahead.
