Dear Snay Family,
Jeff taught me how to drive a standard shift car (his Dad's VW bug) many years ago. He made me practice until the gears and clutch moved flawlessly, and today I still drive a standard.
He was a talented photographer, and I still have some beautiful pictures that he took and developed himself. I am sure his carpentry was as meticulously done.
I am sorry for your loss. May peace be with you.

Dear Sue, Aaron, Nate, Cindy, Lauren, and Kristen, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. Although he now is at peace, I pray God will give you strength to move forward as it is not easy.

I will always remember Jeff and the laughs we had when we would all meet for dinner or get together to see Susan. I will never forget the sparkle in his eyes that Susan gave him, but also the joy and love he gave her. He truly was an amazing "grandpa".

God Bless.
