I remember passing notes back and forth with Jeff in history class just to keep from passing out from boredom. Good times. Hope you have found peace.

Vernon and Michael, I was so sad to hear the news of Jeffrey's passing. I always thought so much of him even going back to our old St. Rose days. Wow, what a pitcher! South-paw. You and your families are in our thoughts and prayers. I'm going to miss my friend, Jeffrey.
