I am so sorry this is so late but I just heard of Jeffery's passing. Jeff was a room mate to my husband at Lake Placid Rehab center. Jeff was very kind and helpful to my Ron who was in a wheelchair. Ron passed away the day after Jeff on Oct. 3, 2023. May they rest in peace.

I often remember his love for the Dodge Power Wagon, and his Firebird '67. The Dodge once got my alcoholic neighbor, (a state police captain) out of a tight spot after he had driven it, drunk, off the side of the road and somewhat down an embankment. We had wonderful times together during my junior and senior high school years.

This is such a shock. I'm so sorry for the family. We've been out of touch for years but Jeff was my cousin. He looked like Superman in some pictures. Prayers for the family.

My deepest sympathy to everyone. I remember Jeff from back growing up and he had "it" that is for sure. He naturally defined cool. I also remember the Firebird. There was a time he went to the airport to pick up someone and before the ride he stopped for some pricey champagne.... and then did again on the way back... digging in his pockets trying to come up with enough for it. Thanks for the memories Jeff. You were one of a kind - so special.
RIP Jeff
