You have my deepest sympathy in the passing of Jeff. He was one of my best friends at Southern Community College. When he retired, we missed his wit and wonderful sense of humor.

Mrs. Hanichen & Family: I was so sorry to learn of Jeff's passing and I am so sorry for your loss. I worked for the US Army Corps of Engineers many years ago when Jeff also worked in the Federal Building in Huntington for the General Services Administration. I remember talking with Jeff often and I always felt better after talking with him. He was always upbeat and in a good mood and he had a great sense of humor. You all are in my prayers.

Jeff was a student of mine at Marshall University in 1976. I remember him as a vital, alert, intense, intelligent and engaging young man. I extend my condolences to the family.

Janet,
I can't express into words what Jeff has meant to me for so many years. He was my rock when times were tough but Jeff always kept me in line and helped set me straight. Jeff was my friend, my pillar, and guardian of my sobriety. He will SO greatly be missed.

Janet & family, I would like to offer my thoughts & prayers to all of you at this sad time. Butch & Johnny Lawless are my late brothers who were great childhood friends of Jeff. We considered him one of our family growing up.My Mother fed him as one of us,loved him as one of us, and gave him a piece of her mind when he misbehaved as one of us ! I knew whenever I saw him,I would get that his bear hug as only he could give with love. I am so grateful for all the good memories and very sorry for your loss.
