    I’ve been a friend of Jeff’s since the mid-70s. He always made me laugh no matter how bad things in my life seemed to be and we also had lots of fun times. Through the years we lost touch but would run into eachother now and then, I always left our conversations with a smile on my face. Good bye my friend, for now. I will sorely miss you.
