To the family of Jeff Daum ... It saddens me to hear of Jeffs' passing. He and I go farther back then either of us would care to remember... especially when we lived in the same neighborhood. Golfing buddy, bowling buddy and teammate... and even exchanged a few elbows with each other on the hardwood. His manner, his smile and laugh, and his crazy sense of humor is going to be sadly missed by all who knew him. Rest in peace, my friend !!
