He enjoyed playing on the Wednesday night pool league, tractor riding with his great nephew Noah and dinner nights out with special friends. Jeff loved spending much of his time outdoors caring for his horses, boating, fishing and being at the beach. He was a loving husband, son, brother, uncle and friend who will be dearly missed.
Jeff is survived by his wife of 22 ½ years Babette; brothers, Nick, Andy, Cosmo; sister, Barbara and many nieces, nephews and extended family members.
