To Jeff's entire family I would like to let you know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I worked with Jeff way back in the 80s at JCPenney Distribution Center. I could not have asked for a better friend during that period in my life. So know that you will remain in my prayers.
Eternal rest Grant unto Jeff oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God Rest in Peace. Amen.
