They blissfully lived in Millis, MA with their cat Peppermint. Jeff was a loving and giving person, a big man with a big heart, and was gladly willing to share whatever he had with his loved ones. He was a believer in appreciating and recognizing our fallen veterans making sure that his grandfather Janelle’s name (WWII Vet) was inscribed on the memorials at Great Falls in Lewiston. Jeff was always thinking of others, even in death, insisting that he donate his organs, giving the gift of life so that others may have an opportunity to live.
