I am so heartbroken to learn of Jeffs passing! What a great loss for those left behind who loved and cared for him. I was always so so fond of Jeff! He had a wonderful presence and he always made me smile each time I was around him. High five once more Jeff. No doubt in my mind that the Lord gained an angel!
With utmost sympathy and love to Barb and all of the Gillaspie family,

Didn't know him personally but work nearby and noticed how he was always working either inside or outside the restaurant. At a place with so much turnover this guy was a constant and hard worker by what I saw. So sorry for his friends, family and co-workers.

Jeff.... You are my best memory of working at WW Cousins...... It was my first job, and I worked with you on my first day in 1992. I never knew I as making a friend for life. Where ever you are, I hope it's big enough for all your heart and soul. I will miss your smile..........

I did not know Jeffrey personally but have been a customer of W.W.Cousins since the early 90's and he seemed to be there working every time I went. He was always focused on his work and never seemed to be having a bad day. His memory should be a positive inspiration to us all.
