Jeff and I played basketball and had classes together in Highschool . He was a great guy who had a knack for telling stories that also had a lesson and humorous tone. No doubt he found exactly what he meant to do in this life by sharing his knowledge and passion with others. He will be sadly missed by those that knew him, and all of us that did know him we are richer for it. R I P friend until we meet again.
