Dear Eileen and family:

I am so sorry to have just found out about your loss. Jeff was truly a gentleman and good friend to everyone who had the opportunity to meet him and enjoy a piece of your life together. I remember many good times at your house, the renovations there and especially when we met around the time of PJ's birth. The love and generousity of both of you was extended to everyone around you and for that we must all be thankful to have had the chance to share time with you.

Working together all those years ago was a special time.

Life is indeed too short, be thankful for and cherish the time you were allowed with Jeff. And be blessed with the rememberance of him through your boys.

Love to you all in this time and in the future.

Dear Eileen and Family,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your best friend and husband Jeff. Being so far away my brother Bob Stephanie and I feel so badly that we could not catch a flight just as you did with and for my mothers funeral. We wish you all are love and support and wish that we could be there to give you a big hug.

Please call either of us at any time if you need us for anything.

When things calm down we should all get together as this proves that life is to short.

All are love,

My sincere condolences on Jeffrey's passing. Although I hadn't seen Jeff since my Dad's funeral in 1993, seeing his notice brought chills. Our fathers were best friends for about 70 years, maybe more. As a young boy, I can remember being at the Fryer's apartment on the West Side of Chicago and in their duplex, near our's in Jeffrey Manor.
