Jeff was a great friend whom I shall miss terribly. I'll cherish my memories of visiting him with Dr. Ted Solomon on my visits back to the United States as well as setting up the tipi in 1993 and 1997. Rest in Peace, my friend.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
My brother just sent me the newspaper notice about Jeff. I can still remember all the good times we had in DeMoyLa. the time we did all the sports every Sunday afternoon in all the functions that Jeff was part of. I can still remember having pizza at your house with Jeff on Sundays watching football eating Shakey's Pizza. Again, I am so sorry. Please take care!
Love ya all!
