I am sorry to hear about Jeff. I worked with him during his time at Empire. Everyone in this area that knew Jeff were very saddened to hear about him passing. He was admired by everyone especially me. May God bless all his family during this diffuclt time.
We are so very sorry for your loss. It was too sudden and he will never be forgotten.
I knew Jeff from delivering wine with skyland distributing where i am still employed. We would run into each other usually delivering to a store and joke about who worked for the better company. This was 12 years ago. I remember always talking about fishing with him. We joked around a lot but always got our work done. I saw him not too long ago and we always said hi to each other. I was very sad to hear of his passing. I lost my father in August so know how you must feel. Jeff was great to be around and always had a smile on his face. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Joan, Cindy, Wendy, Kim, there are not enough words to say we are so Sorry to hear of Jeff’s passing away. He will surely be missed by everyone he knew. He always was Smiling. We remember coming up when his girls were small and had great time. Sure going to MISS HIM….
