Jeff was a loving son, brother and uncle. He had such a positive way of looking at the world and was well liked by all who knew him. We will miss his smile, his laughter and his love, but are comforted by our many fond memories of him. He was such a special part of our lives. Our time together was all too brief, so with heavy hearts we say goodbye until we meet again.
