I want to send out my sincere condolences to the family..Justin & Jacob , I’m so sorry about your pops. It’s a tough loss to lose someone, but especially a parent. It leaves a void in your heart not seeing that special someone as you’re used to. I know you boys are strong & will miss your dad. He was a great guy & was loved by many .. Roberta , I’m so sorry about your brother .. it never gets easier.. I wish you all the best ! As for me , I was lucky enough to know Jeff for many many years. He was my brother n law ( always will be) & I loved him like a brother. He was fun to hang around with. We kind of lost touch through the years, but I always felt the same way about him. He was a great guy. R.I.P. Jeff , you will be missed ! Prayers to all family members 🙏🙏🙏🙏
