I first met Jeff about 21 years ago when I was courting his mother who had been a widow for 6 years and has been my wife for 20 years. We hit it off right away and developed a son and father relationship. He shared Navy events with us and our families grew close. We shared many wood working projects together. I loved that guy, I miss him terribly. I have few heroes in my life, but he was one of mine. I love him like my own son. I will remain loyal and devoted to his wife and children as long as I live.
