Dad,
I wish so much that you could know that you have SO MANY friends still here wishing you love and god's speed! You have touched so many lives in the short years you were on this earth. We will keep your memories alive and continue to share your terrific stories and crazy recipes. For those of you who don't already know, my father was one to make up his own recipes. And they were never short of odd ingredients! See, you're still making us laugh. My father was never one to sit still. Every weekend was a new adventure. He believed in strong work ethics and standing by your friends. He believed you get what you've earned and he gave generously. It made him happy to help others and that's what made him a good friend. No longer will he be suffering physically or emotionally! God's speed, Dad! Tell Grandpa I said "I love you", it's been a long time since we've seen him, hasn't it!
Love Always,
Your Brat!

I knew Jeff back in 1965-1966. We graduated together from MIHS Class of
1966. I did some after school Friday
hanging out with Jeff then. I visited his VW repair shop on US 1 when I got out of the service. He was a good guy and great VW mechanic. I knew his brother George a bit since he was a friend of my brother. Jan Mauch

For Jeff's family, I am very sorry for your loss. I went to school with Jeff at MIHS, and worked in the car business/auto parts back in the early 70's, as did Jeff, with his Volkswagens. He's a great guy, willing to help anyone out, just flat knew his cars, and will be missed by so many many people. God Bless.
