Andrea, my heart goes out to you and the boys along with everyone who knew and loved Jeff. Jeff was truely a one in a million type of guy and will never be forgotten. Also a Maple Hill High School graduate, I was blessed to have shared great times with Jeff between basketball and class. I remember my doing silly pranks in school and Jeff would just look at me with a grin and shake his head and that is how I shal remember him in my memories.

Dear Andrea, I don't even know where to start. I am so very sad about Jeff. I just found out. Teresa lundgren told me today. As soon as she told me I searched the Internet for info and am so sad. When I saw the picture of Jeff..I sobbed. He is one of the sweetest people I have ever known. I keep thinking of him at our apartment when we were roommates at Siena. We always made him drive us all over. My heart goes out to you and your boys.it is so very sad. Please call me if you want to talk. Or if I can do anything at all to help you. I would call you but don't know how to reach you. Please take care of yourself. God bless you. Love michelle Annese 5185889072

To Andrea, Aaron, Matthew, and Nicholas:

My deepest condolences to each of you over your loss. As one of just a few students who attended school with me from K-12, Jeff added a touch of class and humility to everything that he did, whether it was academically, athletically, or socially. He brought out the best in all, and will always be remembered with fondness.

Memories of Jeff....oh so many. Walking through the door with that big smile and huge hug everytime we saw him. Questions about how our family was doing, sports talk and great stories about the boys and Andrea. Vacations we took, Christmas' we shared, Vermont sunny days and so much more. Oh how we will miss him. Our love to you all.

So sorry to hear about Jeff. He was the first guy to take me to the movies. It was Mary Poppins, in the summer of 1965 I think. We were both only 5 yrs old. We will miss him, Castleton is a small town and we all feel it when we loose one of our original sons. Jeff was a great athlete and an all around great guy. Like George Puccio, he left us much too early. I can still hear him laughing when Dave Carpenter would crack us up. We all feel a little scared and sad when this happens to our dearest Maple Hill High classmates. Eileen Koryn Puccio

Jeff, growing up in Castleton was such a pleasure, because of our strong friendship, and our athletic endevours together. To this day I think of you often, and tell my wife how you and I would play 2 on 4 basketball and win. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers, and I know you have set a strong foundation for your family to continue on. Jeff, I hope to see you again someday buddy.

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Jeff's passing. We attended the same church where I saw him regularly with his father, mother, aunt, brother and sisters. He was a star athlete in high school and in general, a great person.

I just wanted you to know that I considered Jeff a valued friend, a confidant, an advisor and the voice of reason I often needed to hear. During his time at Hartness we often talked of many things we had in common such as sports, caring for aging parents, the kids, and many "war stories" from our years in the world of IT. I am shocked and deeply saddened by Jeff's sudden passing. Jeff was always kind, gentle and generous to me; a great help to me and a true advocate during the tough days. I will miss his bright smile and good humor.
