Pretty sure I went to school with him at Talma Jr High and Tippecanoe Valley high school in Indiana. Sorry to see he has passed! The class of 1978 has lost quite a bunch! So sad!

It was truly a pleasure to have gotten to know Jeff. We will miss visiting with him at the Waukee Earl May Store. He
was very kind and helpful to us as customers. Our sympathy to Jeff's family.

I'm one of those Waukee Earl May customers, and I will really miss seeing and visiting with Jeff at the garden center. I used to "recycle" my hibiscuses in the fall and Jeff would gladly take them to his porch at his home...until he had so many he had to tell me "no"! I was just happy they had a home! Jeff, Jim and Tim...quite the trio at Earl May. He was a good person...my sympathy, Renae

I worked with Jeff at Earl May a few years ago. He was always so kind to me. I enjoyed seeing his smiling face. Am so saddened to hear about his passing away.
