Knew Jeff from school days, basketball at the Y and playing cards at the Eagles. Always fun to be around. You knew if he was there you was going to have a good time. Just an all around great guy! Condolences to the family. RIP Jeff

Friends from grade school through high school and always had fun even into our 60s. Nothing put a smile on his face as much as getting multiple skins or greenies during a round of golf. One of his favorite sayings was, lets shut out Thurston, which was a joke among some of us. I'll never forget you Jeff, thanks for being my friend......

God Bless you Jeff. An older brother we never had, a friend we could count on, and a great team mate in life. We had so many fun times. When we meet again, I promise to clean your spikes before I give them back to you! Love you brother!
