Where do I begin? Jeff you have been a part of my family's life prior to me even being born. I will always remember the contagious smile you had, crazy stories from memory lane, and your famous oreo pies you made just for me. I know I speak for my mom & dad as well, when I say we will forever regret not keeping in contact as much as we should have. Despite the seldom visits, you were family to us. We loved you more than words could express. Thank you for the beautiful memories you bestowed upon our hearts, they will never be forgotten. Heaven gained one of the most beautiful souls I have ever had the privilege of knowing. We will see you on the other side uncle Jeff, and try not to give em' too much shit up there haha ;) We love you big man.
