THIS MAN HERE WAS A LEGEND. ALWAYS HAD AN INFECTIOUS ENERGY ABOUT HIM THAT WOULD CHANGE THE ENERGY AROUND HIM. HE WORE A SMILE LIKE HE RODE HIS BIKE. SUMMER TIME YOU CAN CATCH HIM OUTSIDE LISTENING TO HIS FAVORITE JAMS, SHIRT OFF TANNING AND DRINKING A COLD ONE TO COOL OFF FROM THE SUN AND ALL THE HOT BABES THAT WALK BY GREETED HIM. JEFFREY CACALA IS NO DOUBT ONE OF ELMIRA LEGENDS AND WILL BE MISS.
