Although i only knew Jeff for a short period of time, he was an amazing person. He always made my son laugh and I felt comfortable around him. We talked about everything in the few hours we spent together during the week. He was always so kind when he came over for his sessions. I can't imagine the void that will be left in the lives that he has touched but i'm Beyond grateful just to have gotten to know a little piece of the joy that he used to spread. It was a shock to my family and a devastation to his. He will be missed beyond belief. My deepest condolences to those whom he left behind so suddenly.

Dear Joe,
When we first met Jeff at Brookside there was no doubt that our children and family were blessed to have such a dedicated loving person teaching our children.
As others have stated I don't have adequate words for your loss. He was a great man and will live forever in the hearts and minds of the countless children who he selflessly taught and worked with, including ours.

You and he are in our thoughts and prayers.
