    Hey Jeff,

    First time I met you was when you went out on a date with my cousin in high school. Then our paths met again when you joined my hubby’s fraternity. You were always sweet and fun and will be missed by both Al and me. May you rest in peace with the Lord. I’m sure he’ll enjoy your smile as much as we did!

    I am so sorry for your loss. Jeff was a good tenet (in one of our apartments) but also a good Son-in-Law even tho we had our differences from time to time! He was still a very kind and gentle soul to all whom he knew. He will be sorely missed.! God be with you and the whole family.
    We love you both & will see you soon …………. Love, Grandma and Mom

    PS: Good picture of Jeff!

    Austyn, I went to College with your father and we joined a fraternity together. He was one of the greatest guys I’ve ever met. He always was there if you needed help it was always first in line to help anybody that needed it. He was such a hard worker and kind soul. I’m so sorry for your loss. You had a good father.
    Peace, Scott Strunc

    We are so sorry to hear of Jeff’s death. Jeff was such a good worker/volunteer for the Mustang baseball program. We enjoyed watching Jeff cheer on Austyn and keep Mama Norma happy with drinks and treats from the snack shack.
    Peace to all.
