The Youth In Jeff That Never Wanted To Grow Up Came To Attention With His Love For Cartoons, His Favorite Being SpongeBob. But On His Serious Side He Enjoyed Watching The Old John Wayne And Clint Eastwood Westerns, SiFi Movies And Good Horror Movies. With Favorite TV Series Was Bonanza.

Jeff Was All About His Denver Broncos. If You Were To Visit Him On Game Day You Had Better Be Rooting For The Same Team Otherwise Be Prepared For A Little Fun Competition.

Jeff Had A Way With The Ladies.  Let's Face It, looking and singing like Elvis, What Woman Wouldn't Want To Be The Woman On His Arm. Jeff Was Married Five Times. Although The Marriages Were Desolved, They All Remained Best Of Friends To The End.

Jeff Is A Happy Go Lucky, Glass Half Full Kinda Guy. In Bad Situations He Always Tried To Lighten The Mood And Highlight The Good Of The Situation.

Jeff Was Known For Buying Meals And Helping Those In Need. On One Occasion On A Hot Summer Day As He Exited A Grocery Store He Saw A Man Trying To Sell A Small Window Air Conditioner Unit. He Walked Over To The Young Gentleman And Told Him He Wanted To Buy His AC. After Paying For It He Told The Young Guy To Take It Home And Put It Back In His Window, It Was To Hot To Be Without one.

Jeff Had Many Friends And If You Were Blessed To Be His Friend, It Was For Life. Shout Out To Kevin O. He Spoke Of You Often And To The Highest Regards. Jeff Loved His Family. Though Divorced, His Love For Dena Never Waivered. Unfortunately Time Was Not On Their Side. In The End It Was His Mother He Was Closest To And Became So Protective Of.
