My Deepest sympathies. I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you positive thoughts and lots of prayers. It makes me sad.
It was just last night i was telling my wife about My Friends the Elersic's . we were watching something on TV and the show was in houston texas . and i could not remember Jeff's real name ! i just remembered" Puka" i still dont know what it ment or how it was spelled just was what they called him then.
Then this morning i was going up RT 528 and seen the name Elersic on Behm's sign. then i rembered Jeff. what a shock it was !
I had first met the brothers as kids playing with there Cousins , David, Jimmy, and Rita Lord, who lived down the road from me in Painesville TWP. Later after i came back from the Service we lived in Oklahoma City, then Houston TX.
Oh we had some great times ! and was a big part of my life.
I will remeber Jeff, and his brothers the rest of my life as Puka ,Bubba, Rick and Bobby and I will meet them again i know in Heaven!
May God Bless all the Familly and friends of Jeff and rest in peace

Jeff, as we called him back then, was actually one of my first fights at State Street Elementary School in first or second grade. Something about a swingset seat as I recall. Must not have hurt each other much as we both made it to age 70. Sort of lost track over the years but reconnected some on Facebook a while back. Thoughts and prayers for his family and loved ones. May he Rest In Peace.

The Elersics are such a special homegrown family of Painesville. They helped build and support Painesville Ohio from paying taxes, from military service protecting America and their law officer family protecting the city. But me personally. Jeff and I met in the summer of fifth grade going in the sixth grade and his brother Rick. And the whole family welcomed me as a kid. We experienced a lot of good times camping in the woods. Camp[ fires swimming in the rivers`and lake. Jumping off bridges, train trestles structures. And protecting the city from bullies from people from other cities coming in trying to push people around :-) Just kids stuff. But Jeff was and is a unique friend and human being and friend. Until we all meet again in our eternal al home in Heaven. I love you all

I remember when I was 5 or 6 years old, Jeff was visiting us in Tennessee and one night he told us a store about a werewolf in the woods. And then he spent the next few hours in the woods howling to scare the hell out of us.
