Vicki and family, I am very sorry for your loss, Jeff was a great friend while I was at UCS in the 70´s and he was thought of during these many years that I lost contact from many of the UCS folks when I moved to Georgia with Hitachi.. prayers go out to you all..

Bro I miss you really bad! We spent all of our remembering lives of each other. Some were near and some far apart. It breaks my heart knowing about your struggles that you endured. I wish that I were more readily available for you during your these very rough times. Our lives went in different directions after high school and we lost our dialogue. Our latter years were cherished and loving. You were the most giving of yourself person, as was Dad, that I know. Never asking for anything in return. I can´t express how much I will miss you, even knowing that you are in a better place in Gods Kingdom. Love ya man! Bud
