Sorry to see Jeff go so young
i worked with him on trucks at direct transit in Moosic pa we had same pickups his red mine black we instantly became friends i new his dad and would talk to him for hours and show me his fish tanks he would tell me stories about the big trucks he worked on he now was retired
My dad met him and also they talked but the nicest thing was Jeff ever did he had an old boat he got from landfill it needed work he gave it to my dad he didn't want no money but dad stuck a 20 in his pocket we fixed boat and my dad used it for years till he got cancer and passed now it sits in my yard soon to be back on the river me and my dad had many nice times fishing
jeff and his dad were the kindest most caring people i ever met it dont make any sense y people sometimes leave us my brother died young and had a young son
maybe someday when u guys are all together again
we will all understand gods plan
my mom always told me don't spend all your time praying for the person that passed Jeff will keep u safe and pray for you guys now
god bless you Jerry k from Duryea

Sorry to see Jeff go so young He is in a better place now healthy and he will keep you guys safe and watch over you , that is my belief
I met Jeff at Direct Transit Trucking in Moosic around 1995 mechanic lobs . we became friends instantly we both had same pickups his red and white mine black I then met his dad , Jeff gave my father a old boat that needed fixing my dad fished in that boat till he got sick with cancer I bought 2 truck campers from him I would stop by his dads and if Jeff wasn't there I would wind up sitting with his dad for a hour he had the fish tanks inside house & told lots of stories about trucks as we were both truck mechanics he was now retired
Jeff and his dad were honestly the most generous respectful people i have ever known i lost touch and wanted to eventually track Jeff down I stopped up his dads and found he had passed
God be with you I will miss him although its hard to understand y people leave us don't make any sense God has to have a plan for him i lost family members and other friends my age with kids and some had grand kids it don't seem fair sometimes but someday you will all be together again God bless you all

Jeff lived across the street from me for quite a few years. He would always come over and sit on the porch to talk to my dad and me. Mostly to my dad because he was out there more than I was. When ever I had a problem with my Jeep he was always there to help me however he could. I also remember on more than one occasion, him bringing over a fresh homemade apple pie cuz he knew my dad loved them. Plus he was giving my mom a break in the kitchen. We all liked him very much. He was a great neighbor and a great friend. We will miss him being around here. Rest in peace Jeff.
