I am so sorry to read this. Jeff was a great high school friend, the best anyone could have. He was funny and charming, and he stood up for his friends always. I have great memories of our times together going out with Jeff and our friend Augie as well as his brother Scotty. I am just so sorry to hear this and my thoughts are with Jeff´s family.
