Jeff had been my brother Keith’s room mate when they lived down on State Street. We had a great time watching the Halloween parties from up above. Oddly enough, I got a job working with Jeff’s brother, Jack @ Jack Way Builders. I had the pleasure of also working with John, Sr. And Gen a couple days a week during the months when they weren’t down in Florida. I learned more at that job than any other place I ever worked (the daily list which still keeps me organized today). One thing that was always very clear, is that there was a lot of love in the Way Family. So very sorry to hear about Jeff.

So sorry to hear this.
We were pretty tight back in the day. We called each other brother.
Along with Dennis and George, we played guitars and had the time of our lives.
I owe Jeff a debt of gratitude for my career direction.
My deepest sympathy for the Way family.

I remember many good times with my cousins. I know Jeff was a talented jewelry designer but sadly have lost touch in our mid-life years when families of our own came along and work responsibilities. I was so very happy to reconnect, for a short while, recently with Jeff on Facebook.
Your families are in my heart, thoughts and prayers.
