I am so sorry for your loss, Jeff was a great person. My name is Rick Vincent and Jeff and I were old friends. Back in the early nineties I was into freestyle BMX.
Through different friends, I had heard there was this God like flatlander (freestyle BMX) in New Stanton. I lived up by WCCC, somehow I got Jeffs number and called him. He agreed to meet me, but it had to be after work at like 1 AM. Of course, I rode my bike down to meet him and I was completely amazed at what an awesome rider he was! We became fast friends! Over the next 3-4 year we hung out constantly, as Jeff mentored me how to be better at doing various tricks. We spent a lot of time in the old Stanwood school parking lot. We had so many adventures, I could fill a book. Here is one of them.
As I'm sure you are aware, Jeff drove like he belonged in Nascar. Jeff had just bought a VW Beatle, after totaling one of his numerous Ford Fiesta's. My brother and I talked him into doing a donut in our driveway just as our State Police dad came home! Needless to say, my dad was not happy! But, Jeff was completely respectful the whole time my dad chewed him out, which I appreciated.
I'm sorry we lost touch over the years, I talked to him at a gas station a few years ago and it was like we never missed a beat. I would see him driving one of his various Dodge trucks from time to time. I was pretty sure I knew where he lived, wished I would have stopped to say hi. Jeff you will be missed! Sending our love from the Vincent Family. Rest in Peace buddy, until we meet again......

Family, don't hesitate to reach out for more stories from that time in his life, or if you need to talk, or anything at all.........

So sorry to hear about Jeff. He was one of the hardest workers I've ever known. We would always be joking around with each other at work. UPS is not the same without him. Rest in Peace buddy.

We all knew Jeff for years growing up in Hunker and always knew him as a great guy who was always liked by everyone who knew him. I remember him busting moves on his ten-inch bike in the Sunoco parking lot back in the 80's, and fun times at the old Fireplace bar. Condolences from my family to yours in these trying times. Sincerely, Joseph (Joe) Demis, Pinellas Park Florida

Truly a legend at UPS. He often do the work of two or three people...Plus he could do it while still talking about all kinds of stuff. Always seemed to keep his cool while working too. Gone too soon, never forgotten by those that had the pleasure to with with him.
