Sending my condolences to all of you. Jeff was truly a great guy. I still have the card he sent me after we won the district boys BB tournament back in 1989. It said, Congratulations I am so thrilled, your the first big shot I have known personally. There was a two dollar bill attached telling me to have a couple of cold ones on him. I just read the card this morning. The two dollar bill is even still attached. I will always remember watching him playing softball and thinking what a giant. He truly had the heart of a giant. Unfortunately mother nature is not going to allow me to attend the prayer service but Gina and I are thinking of all of you during this difficult time. Take care and God Bless.

Message: Dear Sharon and all of Jeff's family and relatives, I am so sorry to hear of Jeff's passing. It is sad when any one does not get to reach those "golden years" in life. Whenever we loose a loved one we depend on the love, care, and prayers of family and friends to get us through the pain. P.S. All of us who are Jeff's classmates, upper classmates, and lower classmates have many wonderful memories lived out in the halls of Sykeston High, Home of the Wildcat basketball teams and football. His business was a great asset to the Carrington community too. God bless you all. Sheila (Malinski) Foos, class of 1965.
