Jeff,
I miss you so much. I wish I could have said good bye to you and thanked you one last time for everything you gave me while I was growing up. You made so many Christmases magical for me, my brothers, and my mom. You taught me how to drive! You bought me my first set of luggage and plane ticket... encouraging me to travel and here I am today traveling for a living. You let me and my friends

Most people who knew Jeff would say "he would give you the shirt off his back". Well, he gave my husband the shoes off his feet, not once, but twice!!! He was absolutely the most generous person I have ever known showing all of us the way to live our lives. Steve and I talked to him in May about our desire for a garden and the necessity for rototilling the plot. He said he would do it, insisted he

We only knew you for a short time, too short, but we knew from the first meeting what a fine person you were. You had lots of friends and that speaks volumes of how you treated people. Many of them making the trip to Florida from Ohio in the last weeks just to see you one last time. You always showed respect for your mother and Step-Father, Dennis. You know you were the apple of her eye. She misses you

My darling son Jeffrey:
Words can not express a mother's pain for losing her child - her first born.There are so many memories but there is one that at a very young age the kind of loving and caring person you would become was very evident. I was called to school by your kindergarden teacher to be present when you were awarded a "humanitarian" award. A classmate was prone to epileptic seizures and while the other children laughed or made fun

Jeff's zest for life, his ready smile and is loving personality will always be remembered. He made friends of everyone and was loved by many.
Our loving thoughts go to Barbara and Jay and the rest of the family in sharing your great loss. Jeff made footprints on all of our hearts.

My dear Jeff. Or Jolly Jeff, as my daughter somehow changed your cell phone email to read. You enjoyed life, listened and cared for others and your spirit uplifted us with your great confidence that life is good and things will get better. Even during the last year with dismal statistics and an uncooperating body, you never complained or gave up hope in the future. We really thought you would survive this. You have left us with so many great

Their are no words that can express the loss that I am Feeling. Jeff was the best person that I ever knew. As a friend he would give you the shirt off his back if that is what you needed. Jeff is the only person other than my wife that I could really talk to. Whenever I needed advice I would call Jeff and he would listen. Jeff I hope you are a scratch golfer in heaven.
We will miss you dearly
Jim , Patty, Jordyn,and Camryn Lees

Jeff and I met when I was 14, started dating at 16, engaged at 19 and married at 23. Although our marriage didn't last, our friendship did. Today would have been our 25 year anniversary and I miss him.
Jeff was kind, loving and would help anyone that needed a hand. He laughed easily and loved to have a good time. He was a very special man and he will be missed by me and a lot of people. Rest in peace, my friend. I love you.
