Paula, sending our sympathy to you and the family,
Jeff was so kind, and I loved the talks we had with him when we came up to drop off Ray’s things & to visit your fairy gardens with my daughters. I wish I could come to the funeral with Anna but I don’t want to get anyone sick.

We started school together at the 2 room schoolhouse in Dryden. He taught me how to throw aand catch a baseball. Also how to bat. We graduated together at the Academy in 1969. What a great guy!
Jeff warm, sincere and loving presence will be deeply missed by his church family. I will miss his giant hugs and the special honesty behind it when he said “it’s good to see you too”! Jeff meant every word he said and his words came from love, every time. Paula, we are here for you, as are all the folks who filled the church yesterday for Jeff’s service, plus many more.
Can’t convey the sadness felt reading this. Longtime friend, for almost 50 years. Prayers and condolences to his family.
