In Loving Memory
I'm a friend and co-worker of Jeff's and I've had the pleasure of interacting with his dad on a couple of occasions. As he is one of Jeff's best friends, I can tell you, the bond they shared was overtly obvious. It's clear where Jeff got much of the man he's become (doting husband and father) and how proud of him his dad was. I'm proud to call him my friend and I'm thankful for Dennis and the influences he's bestowed upon my friend. Jeff, for you and yours, I'm truly sorry. Be thankful for the memories you're going to cherish for the rest of your life. He's left the greatest of legacies that only a parent can wish for.
