Jeff helped us at our woods several times. He always worked hard and he never complained. We enjoyed talking with him about sports. Jeff was a good soul. He will be truly missed.

I´m so sorry to read about Jeffs´ passing. I worked at the BRC with him. His favorite saying to me was, "Christmas is cancelled this year!" to which I would always reply, "Don´t forget to buy my presents!" and we would both get a good laugh!
RIP my friend Jeff, enjoy all those heavenly sports to your hearts content now!
