Loved ya buddy. Your with my brother again. I know you boys are raising hell up there too.

I was a neighbor of Jeff's when we were young boys, until my family moved from Valparaiso to South Haven in 1971. Jeff and I played basketball, football, wiffle ball and hockey in our yard with makeshift pitch-backs turned sideways as hockey nets. Though it has been 40 years since we have seen each other, I still have fond memories of those days. R.I.P. Jeff.
