I was a client of Jeff's and have been trying to reach him for a couple of months. I'm very sorry to find this page and am truly sorry for your great loss. I've done work with Jeff for about 10 years and had a great relationship with him. He was talented and above all a very honest businessman. I will include him and his family in my prayers,

My heart has broken once again. I will miss Jeff terribly....Our summer sleep over's on the boat, giggling ourselves to sleep like two little kids, I'll miss his stories, no matter how long they took to hear...I will miss his smile, his laugh, his everything. I have learned that to have a good friend is the purest of all God's gifts. The most beautiful things in the world can not be seen or touched. They must be felt in the heart, Jeff I will carry you in my heart forever. I will miss you my friend, until we meet again, sleep well...

When I attain that favored shore,
And all my ships are safe at moor,
Know that I will look for you,
A friend, a soul, a brother too,
Next to you I want to stand,
Near my brother,a father,an honest man,
A fisherman, a craftsman of wood,
Things in life at which you were good,
But Father and Friend above all the rest,
At these two, my friend, You were the best!

Rest Easy Jeff Kotton

Jeff, I am numb with disbelief I can't believe that you're gone. My heart pains for all of us that you left behind, I'm also angry that you had to go so young and so soon, we had so many more memories to make. God has his reasons on when he calls us I pray for your restful peace and will miss you until we meet again. We've known each other since we were twelve and our friendship began and things were never gonna be the same after that. The memories are countless, we've had our share of bad memories also but the good ones out-weigh them by miles. There was a time we went our seperate ways and then we were back in each others lives and were like brothers after that. I wish we had more time together. I know you missed your Dad and so did I,now you'll get to see him and when you do you'll have to say hello for me and also greet him with the line I made him laugh with "eat me Sid". I want you to know that I told Stephen that if he or Leann needed me I would be there for them. I'm gonna miss you tremendously and regret we didn't get to take one last motorcycle ride across Florida. God bless you and rest in piece old friend until we meet again.
Love you, Orlando
