In 1956,June, I left Berlin & straight to Indianapolis to Orel, Virginia & Brenda’s. They elatedly presented my new nephew, Jeffery. What a joy in that morning & ever after. Thank you, Jehovah God. Wish I had said so more often…Uncle Gene
Jeff was one of my best friends. My fishing and hunting buddy. He was the always so happy with a sense of humor and would laugh a ‘flat tire’! If you were in a bad mood…. He would make you laugh within a matter of minutes telling stories about his childhood. Like when he put a cat in the mailbox the whole day, then when his mom came home to get the mail, the cat went crazy and jumped on his mom and scratched her!! My prayers are with you and yours. Sincerely, Randy York
