His mother Marjorie precedes him in death. On October 17, 1981 Jeff married the love of his life, Theresa, in a small ceremony in front of friends and loved ones. They spent the next 30 years of their life deeply in love. Jeff was a hardworking husband, father, and son focused on providing for his family and giving them all he could. As a father he was encouraging and supportive, and somehow always knew what to do. He was always answering phone calls and giving advice to his boys. In his spare time Jeff enjoyed golfing, fishing, woodworking, flying kites, and spending every moment with his wife and sons. Special thanks to Falls EMS and neighbors Bill Bye and Karen and Paul Isben. “True courage is like a kite; a contrary wind raises it higher.” – John Petit-Senn Friends are invited to Redmon Funeral Home for visitation Sunday 1 to 3 PM, where Pastor Jim Case will conduct funeral service Monday at 11 AM.
