This loss is a hard one. Jeff was a lifetime friend and eventually became family himself. Uncle "Daffy" to all of our children, always there with love, laughter and yes a lecture when anyone needed it. He touched so many lives and is irreplaceable. Your greatest legacy is Vinny and little Steven. Condolences to Frank Sr, Frank Jr & family.

June 14, 2016

Dear family: It is with my deepest condolences at this most difficult time from cousin Debra (Reynolds) Shadoian. Jeff was a great person. He always greeted everyone with a big beautiful smile, a hug and love. I would babysit for Jeff and Greg when they were young. It was always a pleasure to spend the night and visit with Aunt Beverly the next morning. We have many wonderful memories growing up as one big happy family. I pray to the Lord that my dear cousin is at peace with the Lord, no more suffering. I am sure he is with his Mom and all his relatives and friends who have passed. Our family has come together to help one another during this difficult time. Thank you all who have given their love and support at this time. May God Bless our family and friends. I pray that the Lord will give all of us who are grieving at this most difficult time his peace and love. Jeffrey will be sadly missed
by all who knew and loved him. He will always be in our hearts,thoughts, and prayers Love, cousin Debra and the Reynolds family Aunt Florence, Brenda, Joseph, Michael, Diane, and our families and our children. GOD BLESS
