To my dear friend Jeff,
I will never forget your witt, kindness, generosity, and ability to make everyone around you feel like your family. Thank you for the 20 years I was fortunate enough to be your be your friend. You were truly the star of the show as Santa at the Children's Hospital. You didn't just make the sick children smile but also made their siblings and parents smile because you made sure they also got a toy or a magazine to read, or a care package with essentials like a hair and toothbrush. You were their Santa because Christmas was at the hospital for the entire family. On your way to the hospital you always made sure to pick up donuts and coffee for the 3 different nurses stations to thank them for what they did for the children.
Your wonderful wife and children are a testament to the type of individual you were. Words can't describe how much you really meant to the people around you.
I will miss you and think about you every day and remember how lucky I was to call you my friend and brother.
