He was a graduate of St. Marys Memorial High School (Class of 1982). Prior to becoming disabled, he was employed by the St. Marys Foundry Co. Jeff was critically injured in a motorcycle accident in 1989, resulting in months of hospitalization and rehabilitation.

His favorite pastimes included shooting pool, playing card games, fishing, deer hunting, watching auto racing and spending countless hours at the Friendly Tavern. An avid sports fan, he especially rooted for the University of Michigan Wolverines (GO BLUE) and the Pittsburgh Steelers football teams.

Despite his rough exterior, "Skeeter" possessed an abundance of charm that made him a favorite with the staff of hospitals, rehabilitation centers and the nursing home.

Jeff's favorite quote was, "I'm a changed individual!"
