Donna and Family, please accept my deepest sympathies on the recent passing of Jeff. Jeff and I swam in High School, and I was always an admirer of his. It was good to see him at the Manchester Awards dinner, as it brought back many memories from years gone by. May God grant you comfort and peace in the days ahead, as you mourn the loss. Sincerely, Mike Orfitelli

Donna and family: I am saddened to read of Jeff's passing. To all his past swim teammates in Manchester, this is a terrible blow. Jeff was respected and admired for his talents and for who he was as a person. I hope you can find peace in knowing how much he meant to many people in multiple states. I am so glad he was able to come back to Manchester, CT for his induction to the Manchester Sports Hall of Fame last year. It was great to see him again, and to see him honored by his home town. My best to you and your family. Dave Frost
