I will never forget Jeff and that beautiful smile. Shirley, I already spoke with you, and my words still don't even come close to explaining how much Jeff was loved by the staff, children, and parents at the Y. The last year that Jeff and I worked together, I ran that poor guy to every site imaginable. One school in the morning, a different school in the afternoon, and the Early Learning center in between. I would apologize every week, along with a schedule that I would personally send him with each place I needed him so he wouldn't show up at the wrong place by accident. He always would smile, put his hand on my shoulder and say, "Whatever you need." That was Jeff. Those three words. "Whatever you need" that's what Jeff would do. He and I had a lot of long talks over his long tenure at the Y, about a lot of different topics, both professionally and personally. It was hard to believe he was as young as he was. He was an old soul. I will miss him very much. I will miss getting my "Happy Birthday" and "Merry Christmas" texts from him. Fly high with the angels my dear friend, God will now give YOU whatever you need.

Every memory I have of you puts the biggest smile on my face. You are my cousin and I am so glad we met, even though we lost touch for SO many years and reunited in our late teens. You were my bar buddy, my partner in the dance floor when nobody else wanted to dance. You had that contagious huge perfect smile! Every time I see my brother, Bill I see you. This is so tough. Hard to believe. You were so young and had so much more life to live and so many more smiles to give. Im at ease knowing you are back with Uncle Tommy. Youve always missed him severely and now is your chance to be with him and play the sport you love. I love you Jeff. Always and forever. Look down on all of us and guide us through this. Until we meet again cousin. RIP
