I never knew a person as talented in the small engine depth, Jeff could take apart and put it back together blindfolded. You were always upbeat when we saw each other. R I P my friend

REST IN PEACE OLD FRIEND

Today, I find myself reflecting on the moments we shared during our formative years, moments that have left an indelible mark on my heart. As youngsters, we embarked on adventures that built the foundation of our friendship, riding mini bikes, feeling unstoppable and free. Those days brimmed with laughter and youthful excitement, carved into my memory with a fondness that will always be remembered

Rebuilding that sailboat together was more than just a project; it was a journey that taught us patience and teamwork. Sailing on the lake, what a blast!

Even though the years have parted our paths and words have been few and far between, you have never been far from my thoughts. Life's journey often leads us in different directions, yet the bond we forged always lingered with me, prompting moments of reflection and curiosity about your ventures. What you may have been up to - I often wondered and hoped that wherever life took you, it brought you happiness and fulfillment.

Rest in peace Jeff and sail on brother
