My thoughts are prayers are with his family.

I remember coffee with Mary Jane and our kids. Our kids were close in age.
I loved being able to continue to see and visit with Jeff at Goodwill. He always had a smile and joyful greeting. I will miss him so much. Goodwill just won’t be the same. Jeff was the official greeter to so many.
I am just now reading this, August 20, I would have surely wanted to attend had I known.
Wishing you, his family, peace in these difficult days.
Jeff was such a nice person I looked forward in seeing him everytime I was at goodwill. Always had a smile on his face. Very polite and wonderful person. This isn’t goodbye it’s see you again 1 day. You will be missed
I often visited the Goodwill Store in Three Rivers. Jeff would just light up the whole store with a smile and would be so helpful!! I will miss seeing him when I visit the store.
Jeff was an amazing Brother-in-law. He always had a smile on his face, worked hard, and took every opportunity to be around family. He always made a point to shake my hand and ask how i was doing every time i saw him. He will truly be missed.
When I was married in 1971 we lived at Pleasant Lake. Larry and Mary lived in the other side of the duplex. Jeff would walk over and look in the slider door and just smile that great big smile. I knew he wanted a cookie so I would give him a couple. He would grin from ear to ear and “waddle” off. Sure was a sweet young man. RIP in peace Jeff.
I have known Jeff since we were kids when our parent were friends. Later on when I worked at Rite Aid in Three Rivers he was I frequent customer. He always made my day when he came in with that laugh and smile and conversation, he always asked how I was and made sure to say hello. I’m so very sad and I’ll miss him always.
I knew Jeff, and his family, since we lived near each other on Pleasant Lake in the late 70s. So many fond memories of the days exploring, swimming, digging for fossils, building forts, riding the school bus, and just hanging out. He was a true friend no matter what. Over the years we grew apart, but when we did see each other there were always lots of smiles and laughs. This world could use more kind souls like Jeff. He will certainly be missed.
Jeff was a great guy! I first met him when we worked together at Kmart. I never saw Jeff in a bad mood. He was always smiling. Then when he started working at Goodwill I would seem him quite frequently. Again, never in a bad mood. I’d ask him if he was working hard or hardly working and he’d give me that little giggle. My husband enjoyed going into GW with me and him and Jeff would joke around with each other. I was saddened to hear that he passed and my husband and I will sure miss him. We should all strive to be like Jeff. The world would be a better place.
My Prayers and condolences go out to Jeff’s friends, family and Co-workers, Goodwill will never be the same without him
