Our sympathy to your family in the loss of your brother/son. May God comfort you at this difficult time.
I am very sorry to hear of Jeffs passing. I worked with Jeff for many years at the Western Mall BK. Jeff was as they say a “gentle giant”. He was a good guy and a hard worker. My condolences to his family and friends.
I miss you my brother, my friend, my confidant.
