Lorrie and John,
I was shocked and saddened to read about Jeff's passing. I have so many great memories of him and his laughter as he grew up and even when he was older driving into Four Mile. He was a special and inspiring young man and I know you miss him. God Bless you and help you use your memories of Jeff to comfort you until you see him again, along with Grandma, Paddy, and Sheri.

So sorry for your loss. I went to Jr High at Hoyt with Jeff and knew him as a genuinely nice guy. Although I had not seen him for years when our paths did cross he was always sure to say hi and a friendly conversation followed. I had just recently been think of Jeff and wondered what he was up to. Was very sorry to hear the news but will always have fond memories.
