Jeffrey was an avid collector of RR memorabilia and his 1926 B&O caboose was a local landmark. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He adored his grandchildren and loved to share his memorabilia with them. He was always thinking up new and interesting ideas that he loved to share with everyone.
Jeffrey became one of Jehovah's Witnesses in 1962. He looked forward to the hope the bible holds out in Revelation 21:3,4 which says that God will wipe away all tears and death will be no more. And he looked forward to living on the earthly paradise as described in Isaiah with all of his loved ones. He will be missed by his family, friends, and neighbors. We love you.
