Jeff, Linda, Brandie and family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I have a lot of fond memories growing up playing at your house and having John as a baseball coach. My most treasured memory is when he encouraged me to play first base and knowing I couldn't afford a first base glove, he bought me a brand new one. I still have that ball glove to this day.

Knowing what a wonderful husband and father you are Jeff, I am sure you learned it all from your father. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.
