The family moved to Brainerd. Jeff continued to New York for a time, then back to the Kego Lake area before ending up in Duluth along with four of his children. He was such a proud dad who loved all his kids. Jeff was a very happy outgoing man who loved to joke and make people laugh.

Weiss; sisters, Allison Fournier, Laura Stoneburg, Felicia Otey, and Danielle Molash, other relatives and many friends.
