  1. Spent a lot of time with Jeff at the boys club in Oneonta, sad to hear of this. Condolences to Brenda and family.

  3. Yesterday while waiting for a traffic light, I saw a dark blue 70’s camaro. This car reminded me of Jeff, I found myself wondering what ever happened to him, where (and if) he settled down. I decided to do a google search, (you can find anyone). I was shocked to see his obituary and that he had just recently passed. My deepest sympathy goes out to his friends and his family and I am glad that he got back ‘home’ to Oneonta. I dated Jeff during our last year of High School in Adams NY, his smile and laughter was the best, we had a lot of good times driving around in that blue camaro. Although we went our separate ways after graduation, I hoped that he would find whatever/whoever he needed. I know he will be missed by many and never forgotten.
