Thanks for “The Best Ride Ever”, July 10, 2015. We will ride together forever.
Thank you, Jeff, for the gift of my new family….Big Brother Reed and Sister Susan. We will keep you alive through our memories, and we will lean on each other. I now understand why you loved them so very much.
Jeff was not just my brother, but also my very dear friend, my inspiration, my support, my role model, my NY Giants buddy, my partner in crime…he was the smile in my heart, and the tissue that wiped my tears. He gave me strength beyond compare just by the way he lived his life. Jeff was my hero, and for you my hero, I will remain “P.S.A.D.L.”. Give Pop a hug from “Littlebit”, and I’ll join you both again someday.
I had the pleasure of working with Jeff for 8 years. He was a good man. He will be missed.
The happiest day of my life was marrying Jeff, the saddest is saying good bye to such a wonderful man. He will be forever missed.
Jeff you were a true member of our family and a great man, thanks for the gift of your life to all of us you touched. Fair Winds and Following seas brother. I miss you so much.
Reed
