Hello to Jeff’s family and friends. My name is Tracy and Jeff dated my mom when I was a little girl. I remember he had a miss piggy outfit he wore on the beach to meet the ladies. Lol. I am 49 now so I was about 10 years old back then. He was so kind, funny and I could never forget how he made me feel around him. Just loved. This weekend I was telling my husband about this special person my mom once knew and coincidently she looked him up and here we are. It has been awhile but I can still see his warm spirit and smile. So I send prayers to his soul and to all of you. May he continue to Rest In Peace. Tracy 💜

Jeff, you are missed so very much. It is just so difficult knowing that i can never reach out and see you,hug you or hear your voice again. You were a dear friend [my steading rock] for over 30 years with well meaning advice and a sense of humour that made everything easier. I have enjoyed every moment, and will cherish the memories. Gone but not forgotten you are. Wishing your mother Myrtle, your sister, Cindy and brother in law Cam comfort in their own great memories with you.

Thanks Cap... for being a great fun individual. loved your karaoke peformances and especially on saturdays when you took over the intercome at the station and as the cap, you announced where our destination was heading... BLess you Cap:) R.I.P.

Dear Jeff,  
My old friend you are sadly gone, but never fogotten.  Even here in PA after so many years, you are remembered fondly.  I will miss you and your unfailing sense of humor and good will.  Keep skating on the rink in the sky and we'll share a laugh and drink like old times again some day.  Love, Jean and Sam Bria

A devastating, heartbreaking loss of a very cool guy. Jeff leaves a big empty space in the condo association where he lived. I'm a neighbor and Jeff and I served together in our condo committee club. I will miss his positive outlook on things, his willingness to always help, and the funloving twinkle in his blue eyes. It was just impossible not to be smiling in his company.
Tonite was the first condo association meeting in our building without him. It was hard. I met Jeff when my husband and I moved into the same building Jeff lived in and I started serving on the committee with him. It will never be the same without Jeff. We also came in contact with Jeff through the American Legion and through a mutual friend and previous neighbor named Bo who also tragically left us too soon. My husband, John, is also a HD rider and we had that extra connection to Jeff because of it. Our deepest condolences goes out to Jeff's sister and to his dear mother. We know exactly what she is going through having lost a son 37 years old, in a similar circumstance, about a year ago. It's almost unbearable. I'm uploading a pic of Jeff eulogizing Bo at his memorial. It's the only pic I have of Jeff.
Jeff, you will not be forgotten!

Miss your face Captain! And yes.. we will do a shot of Wild Turkey... every year my good friend! (or maybe sooner then that;) Catch you on the flip side...

Jeff where do I begin? Being our Mailman for 10 years gives me a lot of memories. You and I were always messing with each other from the horn honking and stare downs, to your Crazy comments left on our driveway with the kids chalk! Our dog Cobe would attack you at the window every day and then I would open the door and he would wag his tail and greet u. What about our lemonade stand that my daughter and I had outside? You came throughout the day and bought several drinks and even told her “hey!! You have to have a Tip Cup”…and you know what? She made more money in tips! Then you suggested we check out a charity called Alex's Lemonade Stand online. Sure enough it was Foundation for Childhood Cancer. Next time we saw you in the neighborhood my daughter was so happy to tell she donated some of her money because of your thoughtful suggestion! The latest pranks you were doing was taking things from the front yard and placing them on top of the mailbox…keeping the stay at home mom busy moving things! But once I had left no things outside you started with your rubber band thing! Everyday you would leave one wrapped somewhere, on the porch light or in the mailbox…sometimes taking me minutes to untangle it! You know what Jeff? …I kept all those rubber bands; I still have everyone single one. Last month I sold my house in Deerfield and I did get a goodbye Hug from you, I'm so glad I did. You were the BEST Mailman and brightened My Days! Just remember that every time I see a Mail truck I think of YOU! I will never forget you…. God needed another Angel…Rest in Peace.

hi Jeff,
i knew u for many yrs..u seemed like a great guy..although we were co-workers and mailmen we were good friends..u will b greatly missed!! im still shocked!! RIP My friend..Jeff :)

Jeff was the life of the party and was a great friend to my wife and I. We will miss him. Joe and Noreen

What a wonderful man !  Gone to soon. R.I.P.

Going to miss your smiling face, your memory will always be with me:)

May God Bless you and your wonderful family. Rest in Peace and ride with the wind. Love

Until we meet again, Ride Free Brother...Jeff GBNF.

You and your smile and contagious laugh will be dearly missed my friend. R.I.P. Much luv

I've known you for many years and i'm sad to see you leave us so soon Jeff, your jokes always had everyone around you laughing, a simple smile and a wave from you on your bike or while delivering our mail always kept everyone around you in good spirits, you're truly a one of a kind and a very blessed soul...Miss you buddy, rest in peace my friend

Jeff was such a jolly guy. He was always so helpful. He would do extra things, like when he would come back around if I missed him when he was dropping off a package. He had such a beautiful spirit and it was a pleasure to see him come by everyday. He really gave a warmth to our community. He will be really missed. Rest in peace Jeff.

Jeff, came into my life on one occasion, I would like to share with you.
This year being a special year as I turned 90 years old, it was time for a "Bucket List". One item on the list was to "Ride on the back of a motorcycle".
Yes, Jeff helped make this possible. He was so kind and my friends who watched the event all loved him.
Enclosed are a few pictures that were taken that day (August 7, 2012) that you may enjoy having.
Thank you for letting me share this event with you and please know that Jeff will be in my thoughts forever.

Jeff was our Mail carrier for over 13 years.  He will be dearly missed. He would talk about Harley's every time he saw me...

My sister told me she had seen Jeff's obituary in the Spfld newspaper.  I was in the 9th grade at Dugan Jr. High in Spfld.  Jeff was in my class.  I was shy, but I remembered him to be a shy ( in a great way ) guy and handsome.  I also seem to remember he played the piano..I went to a party in the ninth grade and he played such a nice number on the piano in some parents cellar.  It was a long time ago...we were 14.  Does my memory serve me ?  Am I correct ?  Did Jeff play the piano?  Seems like i was correct about one thing...he was a nice guy and had a great life.
So sorry for your loss.

All I could remember are my last words to you as I was leaving the office on Saturday. You are Missed.

Many of us are in disbelief that we will no longer see Jeff's smiling face delivering our mail...and we will always remember his friendly spirit to everyone around town! He can now give dog treats to my Zoolu up in heaven. Rest in peace Jeff, you will be missed~

Jeff, you will be missed dearly. You always managed to brighten up my mornings with a simple hello.

My condolence's and prayer's to the family. I will miss riding beside Jeff for he always had me in tears laughing so hard. Jeff was one of a kind always there to help in anyway he could. Jeff will truly be miss by all.

I first met Jeff ten years ago when my daughter bought her house.Jeff came in the house to say hello and he was like a breath of fresh air.From that day forward he was always so kind and friendly.My two granddaughters were born and they are now five and seven.They both loved Jeff because no matter how busy he was he took time to play with them for a minute.Jeff was a very very special kind person and he will be missed very much.I lost my brother to a motorcycle accident when he was only sixteen so I feel your pain.Please try to remember Jeff is in a good place with The Lord and you will see him again.God Bless you and I pray God eases your pain.

Jeffrey a light went out when you left us - we will always remember your sense of humor and kind ways. Rest in peace dear friend.

Linda and John Kaelblein

I met Jeff nine years ago he was the letter carrier at my daughters house.Every time I saw Jeff he was like a breath of fresh air so happy and kind.I lost my brother to a motorcycle accident when he was 16.I feel your pain but please remember he is with The Lord and you will see him again.My two grandchildren were born while Jeff was on my daughters route they are now 5 and 7 and they both loved him he would always take time to talk to them or play a joke on them.Jeff will be greatly missed he was a wonderful person.God bless you and I hope God eases your heartache.

Our deepest condolances to Jeffrey's family.  We got to know and enjoy Jeffrey during all those times he was part of our family when Michelle & family came to visit us.  We always had fun trying to "one-up each other.  Great guy and may he rest in peace.

I grew up near Jeff and played soccer with him in high school. Jeff was the team leader, not through any official labelling, but through the way he always conducted himself with dignity and skill. We had a successful team, mostly because we all tried hard to live up to the high standard set by Jeff. Haven't seen or heard of Jeff since 1965, but I can see that he was loved and will be missed. My condolences!

Jeff was a friend from the American Legion Post 142.  We both always looked forward to spending time with jeff.  He always made us laugh and smile.  His presence is already being missed.  May he rest in peace.

Jeff had been our letter carrier for years at our Deerfield Beach home. I spoke with him many times about auto racing since we shared this interest in the sport.
He was very kind and never had a bad word. He will be missed in our home.
Rick

I've known Jeff since we moved to the NE section of Deerfield in 99. The "Captain" was our letter carrier for many years.
He always had a treat for our pet. 
On Christmas he would wear mistletoe for the ladies.
I would see him working on a boat docked behind his residence.
When I bought a Harley I sought him out for riding advice.
We would say "hi" when we met up on the road or in stores.
He routinely took an interest in the lives of the residents on his route.
The last time we talked we were side by side on our bikes stopped @ a light & I joked "We finally get to ride together" as he took off on his FatBoy.
Jeff, you went out as a "biker". Hardcore!

I met Jeff when he first moved here from Massachusetts.   Jeff was not only my mailman but a great friend, he was family to me.   We have shared a lot of great memories over the years and I will cherish them forever.    I always looked forward to getting my mail just to see what kind of goodies he left me or the funny notes he would write on my mail.    Every time Jeff bought a new toy, he made sure to come by and show it off.  Jeff was one of a kind.  I will miss all of our talks and fun times we had, you will be truly missed my friend.

My Friend, my Pool partner, my Mail Escort, you will be missed on so many levels. Can't drive home past the Post office without looking for you to pull out on your bike.  God needed another Angel, and he took you from us but you will always be in our hearts.

My sincerest condolences to Jeff's family for their untimely loss. I too was a good friend of Jeff's growing up in Sixteen Acres. We played many baseball games together on the same team and played against each other in high school soccer. I can still remember the goal Jeff robbed me of by making a spectacular defensive play.  Jeff was one of the good guys, maybe the best, and I will always remember him fondly.

I will always remember your smile and the times we rode together, your sense of humor, honor and leadership will be missed. RIP dear friend.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Dear Myrt and Cindy - My deepest sympathy - take care of yourselves.

Chris (Bielecki) Lamberton

Jeff was our friend and our mailman, and was a positive force in this world. He touched so many in many ways, and he will be  missed by everyone who was lucky enough to have known him.
 Thanks Jeff, for shining your light on all of us. 
Rest in peace dear friend.

Ron and Mike Betters 
and the R&R family.

Jeff, I'm missing you! I loved the times we spent together on the Bikes and in the Mustang. My heart is breaking because I'll never have that time with you again. 
Love,
Sheila

I apologize.  Earlier I wrote a note about Jeff and did not sign it.  I referred to being a childhood friend and that I had played sports with Jeff.

i am verysorry for the loss of your son and brother it has been many years since i have seen jeff but with greatjoy our times playing volleyball or other sports in the meaney's backyard has always brought backvery fond memories of our childhood   keep playing jeff                              The Restaino Brothers Springfield mass

Clearly, Jeff was a fun-loving man who thrived while living at times out on the razor's edge.  Now we know why.  Jeff liked it out there on the edge not so much for the fun and thrill of it, but because that's where he truly shined and did his best to care for the people who have been marginalized, often forgotten, and pushed out to the edges of society.  Jeff's presence in the world ensured that those folks knew they were not forgotten and that a little hope and light was brought into their lives.  Well done and God speed, Sir.  You've made your mark and blazed a worthy and honorable trail for others to follow.  Wherever we go, we take you with us in our thoughts and in our hearts.

Haven't seen Jeff since we graduated in '65, but he probably was one of the best soccer players ever to come out of Western Mass.  Rest in peace,old friend.

God has a new sidekick, a person with a good heart, quick wit and a genuine good guy. I going to miss those talks about sports and going to the Panthers games. Now you have the best seat in the house God Bless you will be sorely missed

Jeff and I were friends growing up in Springfield, Ma and we played sports together right through high school.  I am tremendously saddened by his passing.  My life has been richer for having known him.  His quick smile, obvious confidence and competence made him an easy choice for leadership in every group and on all the teams on which he played.  My condolences to all his family. I have remembered him fondly all these years and I know he is still hitting homeruns and scoring the big goals where he now is.

To Jeff's family,

     I did not know Jeff, but from all I've heard, he was a good man who gave so much of himself for the benefit of others.  I believe that God had a special place prepared for him, and that one day you will be together again.

     I have prayed every day that God will hold you in the palm of His hand to comfort you at this difficult time.

To:The Munsell family may GOD keep you strong in the time of your sudden lost,but pray and pray hard,it help to heal your pain.

It was wonderful getting to know you and the many rides we were all on together.. You will be missed..  rest in peace..

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I am a retired City of Deerfield Beach employee and am honored to have met Jeffrey. He always left city hall leaving us all with a smile.

Jeff, I will miss you greatly.  I loved riding with you.  You brought smiles to everyone's face with your fantastic personally.  I know you and Bo are up there looking down on us and probably having a Johnny Black and a Grey Goose.  May you Rest In Peace.   Love ya, Maryanne "Blondie"

Sharing your sorrow in the loss of your loved one.  May your many wonderful memories comfort you.
