I remember Jeff as a good guy, a lot of fun, and always willing to give advice. As a newer mailman, Jeff told me, "Mike, remember, you want to be crazy enough so that they leave you alone, but not so crazy that they walk you out of here." I've repeated that advice many times over the years. God bless you, Jeff. And thanks for the memories.

Thank you Jeff and Michelle for allowing me into your lives. Thinking of the past always makes me smile... helping us celebrate New Year's Eve at our new home, being there when our son was baptised, bowling, the P.O., tarantulas and always feeling accepted and loved by you. Then always remembering our friendship w/ your Xmas card sent the day after Thanksgiving. I am so sorry Mich and I will be there Wed. Please feel free to call if u need anything while here.
