I met Jeffrey when he was just a kid in school. Always polite, a very nice boy that became a very nice fellow. Along the way, he used to mow the lawn for us and others in the neighborhood. I was very enthusiastic about his newfound interest in Engineering, I had wanted to chat to him about it. Absolutely I was shocked to learn of all this. My condolences to Mike, Ellen, Kevin, Todd and Allison.
