Dear Debbie, I never got to know you, but we have been friends of the Eaves family for many years. I met the Eaves from my parents who lived across the lake. I was the same age and had a crush on Jeff for many years. Jeff and Marsha would bring their boat over to our place and we would ski around the lake. My kids then got to know Jeff and Marsha and the rest of the family from my parents when we would get together at dinners. They were sort of distant relatives. My dad being a doctor even helped Marsha's mom on many occasions with health matters when it came to immediate care. I was just about to change dentists when I heard the news of Jeff's illness from Johnny Stockinger, (another flame and family friend). Our sympathies. Prayers are being said from our church, St. Anskars in Hartland. Sincerely, Kathy (Thompson) Seelig

My mother was a long time patient of Dr. Eaves and I was as well for awhile. He was a very kind and gentle person who always had a smile on his face and made going to the dentist enjoyable (well almost)!
My mother passed away this past year so I know that there are no magical words, but know that we both thought he was a wonderful person and he left a lasting impression. May his memory be of comfort to you now and always.

Dear Debbie-
Jeff was one of my roommates during dental school. I remember him as a kind-hearted guy who was quick to laugh and who usually had something funny to say that would keep it all going. I feel lucky that I got to see him a few years ago when I was in town for a class reunion but sad that we didn't get a chance to talk recently. Please know that there are lots of people like me that knew Jeff in the past and enjoyed his spirited personality....and who will remember him with great fondness!
Sincerely,
Jim (and Pam) Flatley

Dear Debbie & family.
Our fondest memory of Jeff is with his apron on guiding all of the help at the St. Charles Fish Frys- always helping, always volunteering, always giving. May he rest is peace and may the Peace of the Risen Lord comfort you always.
