Ever since elementary school it was widely understood that Jeff was the fourth brother in our family. He attended all of the Manthou important gatherings -birthdays, marriages,and deaths.He knew the family well and was loved by all.
I have many wonderful memories with Jeff camping, attending sporting events, music festivals and hanging around our house.I admired him for his intelligence, kindness and independent thinking. I valued his opinion and we would discuss a variety of subjects and the books we were reading. Those talks meant a lot to me.
He will be greatly missed at the table at the racetrack, but he will again get to play the ponies with his mentor, Big Matt.
My condolences to his family, my brother Chris, and Gerri and Milena. Jeff was a good guy. I will miss him.

With a tear in my eye I say goodbye to a true friend, Jeff was always ready for an adventure with a big smile and a good laugh, and we did have a lot of laughs.
My condolences to Jeff's wife and family and friends. Love DB
