A Poem for Jeff

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered "come to me". With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating. Hard working hands put to rest.God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

You will be deeply missed by all.

I only met Jeff this past year and during that brief time, you just knew he was a good person. His love for his son Trevor and motocross is what I will remember and although I never met his Wife or daughters I am sure that his love for them was just as strong. We feel for his family during this time and hope they find comfort in God, family and friends. Please accept our deepest sympathies and may God Bless you.

Jeff and I went to Lafayette Grammar School until the fifth grade. We got to catch up more than 30 years later when we realized our sons were wrestling one another at the HP Wrestling Tournament. He laughed and joked the whole time, the way I will always remember him from grammar school.

Our deepest sympathies,

Jeff and I were classmates at Lafayette Grammar School until the fifth grade. We got to talk again after more than 30 years last year when I realized my son was wrestling Trevor at the HP Wrestling Tournament. As sick as he was, he still laughed and joked, just like I remember him in school - always a smile on his face.

Our deepest sympathies,

To the Pritchard Family,

Our house is quiet and somber after hearing the news of Jeff's passing. We had always enjoyed Jeff's friendly nature, kind words and soft way. Although our paths have strayed from the beginning race weekends of the ECEA 50 cc class, we always touched base and kept tabs.

We drew a great amount of strength from Jeff's courage and optimism during his battle as we faced life with the diagnosis of Lymphoma for my husband. His inspiration gave promise of the future. We will miss him terribly. Our hearts pour out for all of you.

Sincerely,

The Enman Family

I met Jeff when he was still in high school. My impression of him was what a nice personality he had. My memory of him also was his work ethic. Outside of school, he was always working. He was often working on one of his motorcycles outside on a sunny day. Maybe to work on the engine or just to clean it up for his next race. That was everything to him - going to his next motorcycle race. And I remember Lynn in those early days too, coming over to the house. And then Trevor following in his father's footsteps on the motorcyclces. Jeff knows how very well he is loved. I am glad for him to be in Heaven where he feels better. We will see him again when we get there. Much love to Jeff and to Lynn and his very loving family.
