So sorry for your loss. Jeff was a great guy, good friend and tried-and-true linemate back in the EC Puckers days. Stick taps for a life well lived that ended far too soon.

Kathy, Jeffrey, Nate & Rosa - our deepest condolences to all of you. Our family is so sad for your loss. Our hockey families are blessed to have so many memories of fun, lots of laughter, lots of hotel antics, and watching our players and their siblings grow into young adults. One consistent in many of our hockey families´ lives was Jeff, a kind and funny coach, mentor & friend. We will always remember Jeff and Brendan´s bond and hearing all those years of Jeff "yelling" to Brendan "move your feet" while Brendan looked up from the ice, at Jeff in the stands, and they shared their best smiles.

With sympathy,

The Dunleavy´s
