I went to Walnut Ridge with Jeff. I will always remember him,he was the sweetest guy. I am so sorry for your loss.

Paul Primeaux

September 29, 2009

Wow, Not sure where to start. Except that my best recollections of my youth were spent with and around Jeff. Never a more decent guy. Never did I have more fun with the weekend sleepovers, and the hanging at the river. I regret losing touch with Jeff over the years and not being able to provide support when he needed it most.

Godspeed Jeff, your one of the great ones, and we know you are in the best possible place. If it was humanly possible to be there tomorrow I would be.

I will always remember Jeff''s smile, and what a truly kind person he was. I met Jeff at Sherwood Junior High School and I always looked up to him. He was a great athlete and a great friend through high school and beyond. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I am certain he will be missed.

Jack and I were shocked to hear about Jeff. We didn't know the cancer had come back. We will miss him. He did such a great job with the cancer auctions at the Post for me. I appreciated everything he did. He was quite the inspiration. I don't know what I would have done without him. He truely will be missed.
