I am devastated. 3 years ago, when my Dad died, a man at work held my hand through the entire ordeal. He went on to become one of my favorite people on this planet..Sort of a surogate father. My husband and I became close to Jeff and his wife, they became very close friends. Whenever something would bother me, I would sit and talk to Jeff at work, and he would do the same with me. He is 17 years older than me, but frequently it felt like we were the same age.
Jeff has been so proud of his kids!
