Lisa and Family - I was Jeffrey´s hospice nurse. I still think about you all and pray you have found peace and comfort. I cannot believe it´s been 6 years. Lisa- I wanted to thank you for the beautiful card/letter I received in the mail not too long after Jeff passed. I was in the process of moving at the time and lost the envelope with the return address to write you back. Not sure if you will see this message, but know that it was an absolute privilege to meet and help care for Jeff as well as your beautiful family.

I worked with Jeff in Everett Washington at the Boeing company about 25 years ago. Jeff was instrumental in helping me with investment advise which put me on track to retire soon. Jeff always talked about his family, and I even remember the Friday pizza night stories at the family home in Mays Pond. I thought his family would want to know that he has not been forgotten and is missed. May peace be with you. Kurt B

Lisa- this is Trisha Cox. I was the homecare nurse that worked with Jeff. I just wanted to let you know that I still think about your family. I received a beautiful note from you in the mail not too long after Jeff passed and I wanted to thank you! My intentions were to write back, but we were moving at the time and the note/address was lost in the shuffle. I left Ohio Health Hospice not too long after he passed. I hope you are all doing well and know that you have all made an impact in my life!

Rita and family,
I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your brother. I didn't know of your Mother's passing until yesterday and I'm so sorry I was not in the loop. How hard it is to lose your loving Mother, but to lose a brother and to lose him so soon, is heart breaking. May God fill your heart with Jeff's special, loving
memories, to help comfort your hurting heart.

Love and prayers to you and yours,
Mark and Cindy Wagner Hill

Jeff was a great guy, loved by all. I hope you take comfort in that. My prayers are with you and your girls at this time.

So sad. He was so young. I knew him when he was a boy. From what I have read here he grew up to be a great person and a special husband, brother, father and friend. He left a wonderful legacy.

It is strange for me to think of Jeff without having a smile on my face and remembering all of the goofy things we went through together and the fun times we had. There was little time we spent apart growing up but as eventually happens to most of us, we went out to capture our fortunes on separate paths. All along we both knew that we could always call on each other if needed, which we eventually did. Our lives have paralleled each others in many ways both good and bad. Our friendship was life-long. He will be dearly missed.

God Bless your Family at this time, Hal and I fondly remember Jeff and all the good times growing up. Hal remembers the Big Bear Days! He was certainly one of the Good Guys. Prayers to you, Hal and Michele McClaine

I am saddened to hear of Jeff's passing. I knew Jeff from the early '60's when my family lived around the corner on Wicklow Road. I have very fond memories of how we became fast friends soon after we moved in. I have very vivid memories of riding our bikes through the alleys and playing baseball in the park across the street from our house. We attended St. Mary Magdalene School together. We had such great times in the summer playing in the Schmidt's backyard pool! Mrs.Schmidt served up delicious bologna sandwiches to some very hungry little boys. I sure did miss my best friend when we moved to North Carolina in 1967. The last I spoke with Jeff was at my Dad's funeral service in Columbus in 2003. As was typical of the Jeff I knew, it was very thoughtful of him to attend. Please know that his family and friends are in my prayers. My sincere condolences.

So so sorry for your loss. May all your memories of him keep you smiling. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.
