    Jeff has been a friend for 50 years. We met in grade school in 1970 and he was the leader of our Quaill Grade School Class of 1976. Jeff and I would see each other from time to time over the years and he was always the same terrific guy we all looked up to in grade school.

    Oh the fun times we had while our kids were growing up the many parties we had together I will cherish forever in my heart. As my girls called him “Mr. Jeff” thank you Mr. Jeff for helping raise my children and being another father to them and helping shape who they are today. You will never be forgotten we will hold you near and dear to our heart. To Debbie and the boys we will always be here for you and that won’t change we love you very much. Angel, they say dogs can see things we can’t so look for your Daddy and let your family know that you see something that they can’t because he will be near watching over everyone guiding and protecting them.
