We all had a great time growing up together on Blackstone Street, the good times will never be forgotten. Jeff was a great person to be around and I know he is now at the Lord's side and with his family in Heaven. I will remember Jeff always. My prayers go out to all his family left behind.

Jeff,

When I saw you a month ago, you called out my name at Hannaford's I was like that can only be one person and sure enough it was you. I will never forget how you used to say my name. It was such a shock to hear the news you were gone. I know people will look back and remember all the fun times they had together back in the day. I'll never forget the horror ride I got in the Cuda. You were a great person and will sadly be missed. RIP Jeff
