My first haircut I had by Jeff occurred 30 years ago. For the longest time thereafter he was the only barber I knew of who could, or would, cut my long hair the way I wanted it, for an honest fee. It was great to have a barber whose hair was longer than my own throughout the eighties and nineties and beyond. A helluva nice guy, he could hold a true, two-way conversation with any of his customers. My sons got many of their haircuts at 829 West also. We just heard the bad news today. He will be missed.

Renee, Sheila and families,

Our deepest condolences to you all. Jeff was certainly one of the kindest, most fun people I have had the honor of calling a friend. Though we may have lost touch the last several years, I have thought of him often and will always be grateful for having called him a friend. He will be missed by everyone who new him.

Jeff, you were one of the BEST BUDDIES any kids could've had, while you hung around with our Mom in the 80's & 90's!! You took us places and bought us burgers and told us funny jokes and cool stories. Thanks for the love and memories Jeff. xxxooo Lisa, Michael and Adam

Jeff, you will be missed by all that knew you. And I'm happy to have known you and enjoyed some fun times together. Fej was definitely a colorful character from the Ghetto gang. Had fun way back when at Lake Puckaway and other times with Kenny J & Marty. I'll miss you. My boys will miss you. They loved your stories.

Jeff was my barber for 36 years. I would see him every six weeks. We had great conversations about world events and sports. I will never forget the discussions we had about the Packers. Thank you Jeff for all the memories. Rest now in Peace.

Jeff was my barber for over 25 years and a friend I always enjoyed talking to during my hair cut appointments. I will always hold fond memories of "Jeff The Barber". May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Jeff was a warm and loving soul with a gaint heart. He touched many lives in his own unique way. He was truly one of the kindest people I have ever met...Jeffrey passed way too soon and will be missed by so many probably more than he would even have realized...love you man and see you on the other side....

My heart breaks for you and your families today, that you've lost Jeff far too soon. I hold very dear and special memories of him and your family.

My thoughts and deepest sympathies are with you all.
