  1. I have many, many memories of Jeff. He was a good friend for many years. We had a lot of good times throughout our lives. Shooting pool and drinking beer at some our local haunts was always a good time. He was always happy-go-lucky and had a great outlook on life. We drifted apart for a few years when our drinking days slowed dow, but we always remained friends. Jeff will be sadly missed. Prayers for all the family and, Diane, who was family to Jeff.
