    Knowing you Jeff I know that the pain is finally gone and you're in a better place. Do they have cars up there? Hopefully I'll see you again when my time comes.

    Operating an antique limousine service and the necessary attendant restoration facility, I worked directly with Jeff over a period of 10 years. Having exited the business, I lost contact with him and am sorry to hear of his demise! I'll miss very much his sharp wit and clever sarcasm, comments he's made pop up in my memory almost daily.
