Jefferson Cummings Obituary

Published by Inside Bay Area on Oct. 4, 2009.
Jefferson Clay Cummings Former Resident of Oakland Jefferson Clay Cummings, left us on Monday the 28th of September at the age of 87yrs. His wife Phyllis preceeded him in death in 2002. Father of Phyllis, Sydney (Ron) and Jefferson (Gigi). Grandfather of Eric, wife Julie, Todd, and wife Rena, Sara, Jessica and Cody. Great Grandfather of Jefferson, Benjamin, Logan, Hailey, Anthony and Katy Clay. Hard working, kind, compassionate, a good friend are all words his friends and family have used to discribe him. His passing has left a huge hole in everyone's lives but he would not want anyone to be sad. He accomplished everything he set out to do in this life and now he is on to another. He will see us all later.
