To Jeff's family, I'm so very sorry and sad to hear of Jeff's passing at such a young age. I have a lot of great memories growing up with Jeff as a teenager. As you know, we did a lot of fun things together and with the family. Some of the things that come to mind are horse back riding in Waterworks Park, ski jouring in the pasture, marathon chess and Monopoly games, listening to loud music, mowing the pasture with the big green tractor, bailing hay, pheasant hunting (and eating apples) with Jim, collecting antiques and coins, casting lead soldiers, and the vacation trip to California with the family. Thanks Jeff and familiy for being my friend and for all of the good times we had. I will always treasure the memories. My heartfelt sympathies go out to all of you.
Love, Matt and the Hollebrands family.

Very sorry to hear of an old friend's early passing. We were involved in the same charity 30 years ago. God bless you all...
