So very sorry over the passing of Jeff. He will be greatly missed. Always knew what to do when I panicked and "broke" it. God bless you friend.

Joan,
I am so terribly sorry to hear the news about Jeff. I knew him as a kind soft spoken man who loved working with children. I will always remember his wonderful laugh. It was an honor to be in your wedding and to have known him. My heart goes out to you and your family. I will keep you all in my prayers!
He will be deeply missed!
