Hi Maureen! Its been many years, but I worked with Jeff at Deutsche Bank for a few years in Bannockburn. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. I can't believe it. Jeff was such a great guy, and a wonderful mentor and boss. I was sorry when the move to St. Louis took us in separate directions and we didn't do a great job of staying in touch. You and your family are in our prayers. I am so sorry! Sincerely, Craig

McCoy family, so sorry to hear of Jeff's passing. He was two years ahead of me in school. He was an incredible athlete, but more importantly he was nice to everyone he met. It didn't matter your age or if you were involved in sports or not, he was kind to everyone.

Mo and Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Jeff was a great guy who I had a lot of fun with back in our Loras days. Unfortunately life and distance kept us from keeping in contact over the years - I wished that had not been the case. It sounds like you have a lot of family and support around you. Again my heartfelt condolences to you and your children.

Sincerely

Bill

I'm so sad to learn read this about Jeff. I have great memories sophomore & junior year at the house with roommates Jeff, Bill and Dan living across the street from the Walnut Tap at Loras. Jeff was energetic, had a great sense of humor, and gave a lot of unsolicited advice! - He truly had a heart of gold. I was amazed at his athletic talent and hard at work in his studies. Maureen - I'm so sorry - for you, your kids and grandkids...lots of prayers and love. Fondly, Eileen Considine Boggins
