R.I.P. Jeff. Sorry we couldn't have visited you while in Florida. Peace be to your family during a difficult time. I know of the Zephyr Hills Hospice and I'm confident that they provided wonderful comfort care.

Jeff, you were the brother I never had and since we first met, you were always there for me. Thank you for all your support and love through all these years. I will miss you more than you know.. I hope you're at peace now and I know you're with God so if you can see this not, I love you with all my heart. I always have and always will. Rest in peace.

Oh, such sad news! Sorry to hear it...
Jeff and I dated Senior Year at Montclair High School. I was the "new girl" and he was very sweet to me. We had lots of innocent fun together, playing hookey was one of our events, going to strange towns like "Moscow", N.J., and Coney Island. Jeff's mother was very loving to me and a wonderful role model.

This is so sad. Jeff will be missed by many. I remember being with Jeff, Sara, and Barbara along with many others from our class celebrating our 50th birthdays. It wasn't until that weekend that I got to know Jeff well. He was so much fun to be with and we had many laughs just remembering. You will be missed Jeff. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
