Jeffrey was a diehard fan of the Cleveland Browns and loved making jokes. In his free time, he enjoyed playing cards, the lottery, bowling, and bingo. He was a loving father and a man who would give you the shirt off his back, even if he wasn’t wearing one. He never met a stranger! Jeffrey will be dearly missed and always remembered.
