I am so glad Jeff called me days before he became sick to wish me Happy Birthday, I will always remember that phone call. He said Happy Birthday Troutfish which is what he always called me. We had great and fun times working together at GWS from 1994 until he left a few years ago to open his own company. Jeff was one of a kind and so kind hearted. He loved to pick at me all day long, more of a funny agitator which I will dearly miss. Jeff was someone you could tell your problems to and would always have an answer to help ease your mind. Sherrie, I am at a loss for words except praying for your peace and comfort. Memories....let them fill your mind, warm your heart and lead you through.
