words cannot express the sorrow I feel in my heart for the family. I believe I had only met Jeffery a couple of times Always nice, kind, genuine and he wore his feelings of love for his children "on his sleeves". I have watched Scott and Matthew grow up into fine young men. They shall pay-forward your goodness dear Jeffery.

Jeffery was always full of energy and love for his children. Hw would give a hand to anyone needing assistance and expect nothing in return unless you wanted to shoot a game of Pool and get a Beer.


RIP Jeffery and say hi to Tommy.
