I had the pleasure of working with Jeff every week for quite awhile now. Jeff was always the first one at work and the last to leave. Even during his illness, Jeff was at work, always early, ready to go and never complaining. What a guy! He was very good at police/security work because he saw everything and paid attention, which made him a great partner. Jeff always had a good word for everyone and spoke lovingly of his kids and his Mustang. Jeff will truly be missed by all of us at work. My heart goes out to the Gram family during this difficult time.

My prayers and deepest condolences go out to Jeff's family. When I recently spoke with Jeff, I was struck by his courage and his acceptance of what he was facing as he fought his health battle. He is at peace now and in God's hands.

The years growing up together will always be cherished and never forgotten. I only wish I didn't live so far away but our time together in 2005 will be a memory to cherish. We will meet again but until then may you rest in peace with Mom, Dad, Pat and Raymond. I love you, your sister Linnea, or "Nea" as you use to call me.
