My memories with Jeff are many & go as far back as the 1940's when we were children. Being cousins & his Mother's namesake, there were many family times that included our Grandma Hamer, too. Jeff has been a fun person with which to create these fond memories. I pray he is at peace. Love & hugs to all his family.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of Jeff, especially Holly and Scott.
Jeff and I grew up one block apart, attended the same schools, were acolytes in the Episcopal church and enjoyed our Chevrolet's. Jeff mustered out of the Army at Ft.Ord, CA the same day I mustered out of the Navy in San Diego, CA. We met at my sisters house in Glendale then followed each other back to Grand Island. Later we visited at the Sears store in Denver, then when my kids went to TCU in Ft. Worth we got to see each other several times a year. Jeff was proud to be voted Rookie of Year for Midis Muffler Shops for his management of his shops. One of my memories was stopping to see Jeff when he was having his ankles re-built to walk again, but going to work everyday doing his job. Jeff convinced me you're never to old to buy a Corvette, we both enjoyed talking about our cars and trying to get caught up on classmates......O.K "Billy BS, R.I.P"

This is a very sad time. Jeff & I were real good friends growing up in Grand Island, NE. We shared a passion in high school for cars along with so many other guys.
We've stayed in touch over all these years and I knew in our last conversation before the year end Jeff was really tired and sick. God speed, Jeff
