The family of Jeff wishes to extend our sincere thanks to the doctors and nurses at St. Elizabeth Hospital, especially Jeff’s niece Tina who was his nurse and was there at his time of need.

Jeff will be greatly missed by his family. His wife, Ann will miss dinners out, going on drives and hearing his laughter. Jeff was a very hard worker his entire life, always willing to help others and enjoyed teasing and joking around. He was the rock of the family and provided the best care for Ann.

The family will be having a private service at a later date.
