It is not just my loss... Jeff has touched the life of many.

I liked him and he had become a close friend because he was a straight talker. Totally inappropriate at times, boisterous and enthusiastic... he would not let up, if he knew you needed help and he would also not stop pestering you, if he knew it would annoy you (all in good fun).

Jeff was a good man, just plain a good man. We all have our quirks, but he knew to take them and accept them, aware that he had a full supply himself. I really don't know anyone who didn't like him and HIS quirks, of which there were many.

We were all making fun of him at times, as he willingly (and knowingly) presented himself as a target, over and over again... yet, very quick to dish out himself, if the opportunity presented itself... and if not, he just made the opportunity up himself.

Jeff will be sorely missed, not just by me. Sadly, I know what his family is feeling, all to well. I had to endure a few losses myself.

I hope that we will NEVER forget Jeff and I know that he will live on in my heard and in my mind! He is not one who is easily forgotten, and he is one who can NEVER be replaced!

So long, my dear friend...
