Hey Tim - It can't be a year already........ So, life does go on, but never the same without you. I know you're watching us and looking out for us. You're always in our hearts and fun stories we tell at our get-togethers. Love and miss you very much, Linda (Coulter) Cinkay

Another one of Jeff's carefully narrated poems found in his family papers. The words speak for themselves. There are probably more to be found, as he tried so hard to express his love for his family.
The date was July 24, 2002
My Sister Eileen...
Just eight years old on the day I was born,
But much more mature, though tattered and worn,
You knew in your heart what was to be,
And from the day I came home, you took care of me.
You bathed me and fed me in a motherly way,
You took me to school on my very first day.
You guided me through heartache and pain,
You put me back on my feet time and again.
And as I grew up and went on my own,
I could always find peace in your loving home.
So to this day I am eager to explain,
I am forever grateful, you're my sister Eileen

One of Jeff's many talents was his desire to put his words into poems. Found in his stored away boxes of paperwork that he saved so he could look back some day and read aloud, was this one, from March 1985, to his sons Jeff Jr. and Patrick.
I love you Jeffrey and Patrick my sons,our lives together have just begun,
I call you Soup, and I call you Patches, in all the world you two are matchless
We play all day, and then at night,when I tuck you in bed, you put up such a fight,
I stare at your faces while you sleep, and pray to the Lord, forever to keep, you deep in the recesses of his heart, and to help me be able to do my part,
to give you lives so full of joy, as much as I get from you boys.

Tribute to Jeff Coulter
Written by Eileen Murray
January 23, 2007
Today we say “till we meet again” to a good man. Jeff had a way of bringing people together, and he had a way of somehow sensing that someone might have a worry or problem, and he was not timid about offering some soft or hard advice.
His sense of humor was so natural, like when not long ago he would say, “I have chickens in my trees in my backyard.” You would say, “Oh sure, Jeff.” Then you really would see the chickens.
It wouldn’t be hard at all for many here today to recall an instance or instances when Jeff was first in line to offer help to them when it was needed. One day he heard me mention that my basement air conditioning unit was leaking water onto the floor. He said, “Do you have a garden hose? I’ll be over at 4:00.” And he showed me how to flush out the PCP line every year for efficient maintenance.
When I was losing my hair a few years back, Jeff and Fran come to my house and said, “Come on, Leen, we’re taking you out to buy a wig.”
He was so kind and caring to so many in his life, and again, his gentle sense of humor, no one knew he did these things.
He valued and revered his family above all things. For the last 25 years his familiar expression has always been:
I’m so proud of Frannie.
I’m so proud of Jeff.
I’m so proud of Pat.
I’m so proud of Mercy.
I’m so proud of Bones.
He was the consummate family man and loved teaching them whatever he thought they could use for life.
Yes, he was an electrician, carpenter, plumber, mason, painter, but he gave his family the knowledge and presence of his greatest gift: a strong family unit, always helpful and interactive.
You have seen the face of Almighty God, Jeff. Someday we hope to share that with you. May you rest in peace, good brother.

Tim - Jeffrey's eulogy was beautiful, straight from his heart. I know you were smiling down, listening to him describe what a simple, yet dedicated and generous man you were. When he spoke of your humble beginnings, I can just hear you say "Don't forget the game we played "Things you 'NEVER HEARD' on 10th street". How we howled with laughter at those get-togethers. You always provided the humor we needed to keep things going. You left a wonderful legacy and will always be remembered for your sense of humor, your patriotism and your devotion to your family. Rest now, little brother.

Uncle Jeff I will always remember you as one of the coolest dudes I knew.I will never forget the time when I was younger; you told me there was a monster in the heating ducts of your house, and you gave me a bb gun to defend myself.You will always have a place in my heart.

JEFFRO, YOU ARE EVEN MORE OF A HERO TO US TODAY THAN WHEN WE WOULD WRITE YOU LETTERS AS YOU SERVED IN VIETNAM. KNOW THAT YOU WERE ALWAYS LOOKED UP TO AND REVERED BY MY SIBLINGS AND MYSELF. YOUR GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR WILL BE MISSED SO MUCH, YOU COULD ALWAYS BE COUNTED ON TO GET US LAUGHING AT THE FAMILY GATHERINGS. AS WE SHED TEARS OF SADNESS BECAUSE OF YOUR DEPARTURE, I IMAGINE THOSE AROUND YOU NOW ARE CRYING WITH LAUGHTER. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS AND THOUGHTS, YOUR SMILE NEVER FORGOTTEN.
