Jeff was an accomplished mason and strived hard for perfection and it showed in his work.
He will be remembered for his sense of humor, infectious smile and larger than life friendly personality. He never met a stranger, just a friend he hadn’t spoken to yet. Jeff enjoyed watching the Redskins, being with family, socializing with friends and being outdoors. However, the true joy and love of his life was his daughter, Jenna, who he loved beyond measure.
Due to the funeral homes having restrictions in place pertaining to the COVID-19, a funeral will not take place at this time. However, a memorial service is being planned in the near future.
Should friends desire, contributions may be sent to The Refuge Community Church, P.O. Box 240, Berkeley Springs, WV 25411.
