So sorry for your loss. I worked with Jeff at Camcar Belvidere and what a guy!
What one of us didn't think of the other did. Radical was a perfect name for Jeff!
We worked 11pm-7am and sometimes I'd have to wake him up with a huge washer rolling his way, after the shift we'd have a few brews downtown. Amazing mechanic! Ride on Jeff! I'll miss you dude DH Ken & Jennie Carlyle
