I'll miss you Jeff. I remember when Pat used to run away to my house & not but ten minutes later you'd be there knocking on the door and my mom would have to walk you to the shed where we had him posted up. I remember how welcoming you were to me. I havent seen you in almost a year, but I could never forget you. My heart is so heavy for Pat, Cortland & the girls.
69s are like friends and fine wine

Donnie, Jerry, and the rest of the Hilscher family, my prayers and wishes go out to all of you. It is a sad thing when someone so young is taken from us. Jeff and I spent many, many, hours together growing up and chasing our dream cars. I remember how devastated he was when the 69 SS was totalled. I am happy to see Jeff has such a big family, that is the best legacy to leave. He will be long remembered and thought of with found memories by everyone that knew him. I Recruited Jeff for the army. I am happy he served our country as that is one of the greatest sacrifices a young man can make. He always was a gearhead and I can see Jeff spinning wrenches on a weekend, and I hope he is right now. I'll be seeing in you in a few years Jeff. I hope the Premium fuel is cheap and the cars are fast.
