Letty, Torey and Family … my deepest condolences on Jeffrey’s passing. I always considered him a 2nd bigger brother and I appreciated that he and Steve let me tag along back in the day even though I was probably a little bit of a pain in the butt😉.
I remember that I was invited to my first concert in Philly with Jeffrey, Steve and Tommy Hagan, mostly because they couldn’t find anyone else to invite. Also, all the great memories of Leithsville Inn softball, Baltimore and Penn State trips.
Suzy and I are praying for all of you during this trying time. May God’s peace be with you.

Letty, I am so saddened by this news. Jeff always attempted to share info through my wife's facebook page, and I was always appreciative. I finally decided to join fb just last week, and Jeff was one of my first "friends." I was so shocked when I saw his obit. RIP - a terrific guy.

My dear brother Jeff, you were taken way to soon from this life. You fought hard with your kidney problems but somehow you managed for the time. I know it was very hard on you and Letty. I will miss your picking on me on FB and miss talking with you. I know you are with mom, dad, Dick and Carol again. Life is precious. “May the angels lead you into paradise; may the martyrs come to welcome you and take you to the holy city, the new and eternal Jerusalem.” Love you Jeff, words never said enough. God Bless you. I will continue to pray for you and Letty. You will always be in my mind and heart. Letty, Torey and family, Dot and I are so very sorry.
