To Jeff, My Beloved Friend and more,

I just wanted to tell you that you would have been so overwhelmed by the support out outpouring of love and support from your friends and family. Everyone that knew you just LOVED, LOVED you. You were such a joy. Everyone that knew you just felt a sense of love and easy friendship towards you.

I will always remember our trips to NY in which you supplied coffee, juices and water, muffins, donuts, pastries fresh fruit to get everyone fueled for their Fun Day ahead in NY. You fed the whole bus of 55 people. What were you thinking? You were always so generous. On our way home you always supplied fun drinks, (YES alcoholic, LOVE YOU JEFF) coffee, munchies, which we appreciated so much after a long day. You never expected anything in return

You were such a giving person.
Just seeing everyone happy with a smile, a full tummy and sleepy eyes made you happy.

I hope you are smiling my friend because you knew how much everyone loved you , respected you and looked up to you. I hope you have hooked up with all your loved ones.

Big Hug to your father, brother, aunts and uncle, find Uncle Ronnie, Pa, Aunt Maggie, Robert and tell them all that we LOVE them and miss them bunches. Tell them to save a spot for all of us
until we meet again.


Love, Hugs, Kisses,
Doris

To the family & partner of Jeff,
My deepest sympathy for your loss. Jeff was such an amazing young man. I will always remember his smile when I first walked in the sad tomato he welcomed myself and my boys with such a greeting and the biggest smile ever.
As time went on my boys grew up and I walked into Sam's club and I turned around and was greeted with a warm hug and yes that wonderful smile ( he even remembered all our names)
Jeff you will surely be missed by so many loved ones.. Rest now my friend.
Mrs. Laurie Gladysz (Palacios)

I was stunned when I read his obituary in the newspaper. Jeff was such a kind man to all he came into contact with. Although I only knew him a few years, it felt much longer. My prayers go out to Paul and Jeff's family. I'm going to miss him saying 'good morning ladies', then I would add 'and gentlemen'. He made me laugh and I'm going to miss him.
