Chris and family, I just heard the news today of Jeff's passing. My thoughts and prayers to the entire family. I cherish the memories of both working with Jeff and the late night long distance phone calls we had discussing how we could make the Red Sox better.
To my dear friend Jeff, I can see you looking at me right now telling me "Your Momma". God Bless You my friend. Scott Clawson

Jeff and I were very close in high school and his sense of humor was the best. There isn't a day that goes by that I do not think of him. This news brings sorrow to all that knew him. He will always be in my thoughts. Sincere sympathy to all his loved ones.

I was deeply shocked and saddened
to learn Jeff a former classmate
had passed away suddenly. We missed him @ Westhill's recent class reunion.

My sincere sympathy to the entire
family.

I was very shocked and saddened to hear of Jeff's passing. As a former Westhill classmate of his, we thought about him often during our recent 40th reunion. We had hoped he would make the 40th, but apparently it wasn't meant to be. He always brought a smile to your face and that is the memory that I will always have of him. My sincere
sympathy to the family.
