He was a member of the St. Marys Knights of Columbus. Jeff loved working with his hands and was a wonderful wood working craftsman. He loved his tools and tinkering on anything he could get his hands on.

Even without two legs, NO man stood taller and fought harder than Jeff. His smile, sparkling eyes and always joking ways kept his lifelong pain and suffering at bay. Jeff would be honored to have donations made in his name to your local Juvenile Diabetes Foundation and the Knights of Columbus. Jeff is now resting in peace with his sweet savior and greeted with the open arms of our loved ones before us. "Glad You Got To See Me"
