Dear family,
I remember our early days in Richmond real estate. Jeff's ability and his leadership along with his easy-going, friendly nature, ensured his rise to the top. So sorry he has left "our world", but his contributions will be remembered.
Sincere sympathy,
Dottie Figg

Dear Jeff, we have very good memories of meeting you and feel honoured to get to know you. You were a real gentleman and very fine company! It's hard to believe you are gone... but you will always be living in our hearts, where you left your mark for ever. We feel powerless living far away from Joan and family, there is so little we can do ...
