Jeff's family will forever remember his love, laughter, cooking, dancing, and the joy he brought to family
gatherings. His children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were especially dear to his heart, and the
memories they shared with him will` be treasured for generations to come. Although Jeff is no longer here to dance, cook, laugh, cheer for his Steelers, and gather with his family, his love and memory will remain forever in the hearts of all who knew him.
Rest peacefully, Jeff. You will be deeply missed and forever loved.
