It's always been hard living this far from family, but at times like this it seems downright cruel, as we wish we could do for you. We think of you daily, remembering Jeff with affection. He was so sweet with Mae when we had lunch together at the farm that last time, both of them with their Madden eyes! Please be good to yourselves.

Much love -- Becky and Michael

Dear Bev and Joe,
We were so sorry to here about Jeff. Our fondest memories of Jeff are the old hockey days. We can relate to your pain and sorrow after losing our grandson a year ago last April. You have a great circle of love in your family and friends. They will be there for you.

My deepest sympathy at this difficult time. Jeff was such a gentle soul. His smile was wide, his laugh infectious. Knowing him in elementary and high school was truly a joy. He even made English class fun, and that's what I will always remember.

Jeff's memory will live on, and his family and friends are in my prayers. God bless, and may you find comfort in knowing he is in a better place.

Joe, Bev, and family,
As I said in my e-mail, our thoughts and prayers are with you. My funniest memory of Jeff is when he put the striped, one piece bathing suit on and posed for pictures at McCreary's beach. He also threw me in the lake when I was about 24 years old. Only 28 years ago. His memory will live on forever.

My happiest memories are of McCreary's beach and skiing with the Madden Family on Mississippi Lake. As a teen, I was always so excited when Jeff arrived...he was so fun to be around and that gorgeous smile lit up the resort. His memory will certainly live. I hope that happy memories will continue to fill your hearts and make you smile.

Love and Prayers,
Lynne Erickson (O'Donovan)

Dear Bev, Joe and Family,

We were deeply saddened by the news of Jeff’s death. Our heart felt sympathy goes out to both of you and your family. There are no words to say that would comfort you during this time, just know we will always remember Jeff…. who could forget him with his quick wit, big grin and hearty laugh. He certainly kept us in stitches many a time with his sense of humor, and one liners. He was a true gentleman and had one of the biggest hearts in the valley. I know he was a very special person in your lives as well many other people’s lives and it will never be the same without him. It was a great honor to know him, may he be in peace.

Your friends from McGee Fencing Milton, Muriel, Gary, Paul, Wendy & Nancy

Joe,Bev&Joanne,
I apologized that I couldn't make it today..My thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember the day, Jeff called me in Toronto, as he heard from Mom, I was on holidays. Sure enough he showed up at 4:15 pm with blue truck and I sedoos. well ...Let the party begin..needless to say Jeff and I had so much fun..I'm sure he related the trip..let's say we had a lot of fun. After that weekend Jeff accepted my trust , as we had many conversation of family, friend, occupation and future.
Jeff called me several times after that to stay for the weekend as he attended conferences downtown Toronto.. It was pleasure to know Jeff and discussing his future..

love always and sincere sympathy thought and prayer with you....



P.S. Oh Yah! can't forget the many Christmas days we spent together at Moms/ It seemed like Jeff's tradition to spend a few hours at Moms to discusss the year,and other interest that he was into..It went on for years. Mom and I is looking forward every Christmas.Jeff made a point of being there..as he enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed it "Thanks, JEFF"
Well never forget that moment!
