He was a genuine friend and inseparable from his dear friend Larry Hopkins. There were just like brothers. They would walk all over the place and loved going to the lake and hanging out at the senior center. Jeff always enjoyed making you laugh with his quick wit and funny comments. When he smiled you couldn’t help but to smile too! Jeff will always be in our hearts and we will love him forever!
