Jerry, Bob, Nikki, Matthew, & Leslie, I am saddened by the news of Jeff's passing. We were such close friends although there would be gaps of time that we didn't communicate. I will miss his unexpected visits. I pray that God will give you strength to get through the days ahead. Love, Study Buddy (Jeff's nickname for me)

Nikki and Logan, Your Dad was one of my friends since he and I were kids. My heart is so sad for you both. I know each time I spoke with him he told me how proud he was of each of you and your accomplishments. I hope you will find peace in your heart by remembering all good times you were able to share with him. With much love, Dari Cupp
