I'm so sorry to hear of Jeff's passing. While I never got to know him well, we shared something in common. A life's mission to advocate for, and support individuals with disabilities. My condolences to his family and loving friends.
I remember Jeff from CHHS, Spoke to him at our 50th reunion It had been so many years and I was so surprised he knew who I was. I have followed him on FB and now am sending deepest condolences and prayers to Jeff's family. May his memory be a blessing.
