I saw Jeff a few years ago & he was the same ole Jeff my Daddy (Danny) introduced me too a long, long time ago! I was very sad to hear of his passing.. he hired me to be a bartender at his Bar "Harkey's" many years back.. I guess b/c my Daddy knew him so well, Jeff took me under his wing & taught me MANY things about the business :) I have missed him over the years.. I know he is at Peace now & in a much better place! Miss You Harkey!
