As I wipe away my tears I remember a cold Icy day in a Custom Van out in the country, my best buddy and his bride were tying the knot, one that lasted 38 years. In my heart forever. I will never forget you Bubba❤️❤️

Hello, We are very saddened by the news of Jeff’s passing.
I met Jeff in April of 1986 at County Stadium on the first day I collected autographs. Jeff lent me a sharpie and was very nice to drive me home a few times that season. my love of baseball, rock & roll, and collecting turned into a fun business that was shared many times with Jeff over the past 33 years. I’m very sorry that I did not have a chance to say goodbye. I will always miss his sense of humor and the time we spent collecting, many times at The Pfister Hotel. I would like to extend my condolences to all of Jeff’s family and friends. Stay safe and Rock on Jeff!!

Hi Jackie, Remember me we lived at West Lawn at the same time. My Husband Tom was a Firefighter, he passed away 4 years ago from Caner. I sold my house in the Riverwest bought one in Grafton. You watched my kids the day Tom and I got married. Please call me sometime just to catch up. 1-262-618-3023. Hope to hear from you soon. Lucy

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Jeff. My husband, Bruce, and I worked with Jeff many years ago at Gossen. Way back then we had such good fun together, always doing crazy things. Those were the days! Jeff was a great friend - funny, mischevious, genuine, and a pleasure to be with. After Bruce died, I lost contact with a lot of those friends, it is nice to think of them again. .I know how hard it is to lose your closest friend. I feel your pain and hope you will always keep your memories in your heart.
