My nerves got to me last night at Jeff's wake, so I did not say what I wanted to say. I loved Jeff. Even after Judy's passing I still considered him my Uncle and always will. The first time I met Jeff I must have been 7 or 8. He was playing cards with my dad and his buddies and Jeff sent me to get him a sandwich and a beer. When My Aunt Judy came by, I actually saw the monment he fell in love with her. I am glad I was there to know Jeff in the happiest point of his lift. He is with her now and happy once again! I can picture him now sitting with my dad playing cards with Judy at his side. I send my love to the entire Hess family. You can call on me for anything.
Love, Kimberly (ESTERDAY) Aiello

An old friend

August 20, 2009

I am expressing my deepest condolences to all of his family and friends. As an old friend of his step-daughter, I knew him quite well. He struck me as such a hard-working, caring man that cared deeply for his entire family. His love and pride will be missed by all, and may our faith be strong in the most difficult of times.

I was truly saddened to learn of Jeff's passing. We worked together, had fun together and I think it is fair to say that it would be difficult to find a more loyal person, be it in good times or bad. Godspeed.

Dear Linda and Family,
We express our deepest smypathy to you and your family, and his loving dogs.
Respectfully,
Your neighbors, Joann Jack and Family
