"I am so sorry to read Jeff's obituary. Having known him through his teens, I did not have the priveledge of knowing him as an adult but my heart aches for his siblings. It is really hard to grasp that he and Duane are gone and so close together. Remember the good times."

"My heart fell heavy as i heard the word of Jeff's passing this morning. He came into my life when he fell in love with my mom, and even though that relationship was plagued with turmoil and eventually ended as it had ran its course, there was NEVER a moment when I reached out to Jeff that he wasnt there for me even after the divorce had occured. He was the closest thing to a real Dad I ever had and I will always be thankful for his presence in my life. May you find peace and comfort as we all grieve Jeff's passing. Love and light today and ALWAYS!"
