    Dennis and family, I am so surprised and sadden for your the loss of Jeff. He was the first person we met when SASISTL started 3 years ago. I always remembered, “Wow he’s an upbeat person, easy to talk to and just a genuinely nice man”. Those kind of people are far and few between. I am honored to have met him and you are so lucky to have a brother and son like him. His inspiration will live on in our hearts and mind. May you remember all the good things and funny times you had with Jeff. I wish you peace and love during this difficult time and always. You are in are thoughts and prayers. Kathy and Tom

    Thank you all so much! Pls keep us in your prayers. For those that couldn’t attend I’ve posted the scriptures we choose and my ulogy.

    Phillipians 2: 14-18, Phillipians 3: 12-16
    Phillipians 4:23

    Jeffrey was a dreamer. For those who knew Jeff, he was born into a military family that lived abroad and traveled. Until the his age of 13 he only knew packing up, seeing new things and people coming in and out of his life. Then the same continued.

    Clever, witty, not a rule follower, creative and giving; he worked, wished and prayed¸ for life’s best and strived to obtain beauty for his life, and the lives of his friends and family. A person who would light up the room the minute he entered…everyone wanted to know who he was and talk with him (if they were lucky enough to get the chance
    Jeff was the middle kid of 5 who quickly became the oldest of 3 after some family tragedy when he was the age of 10. Then, a move back from Europe to the states, no one felt the same and finding oneself become an internal question with new events, places and experiences. He was a parent of sorts to his siblings. Jeff took his sister to her first real restaurant, taught her not to wear white shoes with black hose, and what designer clearance is and when to find it! Dennis has always looked to Jeff to guidance and assurance. He has “raised” people to believe. Jeff aspired us to grow inside while we continue to work and figure out ourselves day to day. He’s been a care giver for years to his brother Dennis, and with multitudes of thanks for those sacrifices. The best first born a middle child could ever be!!

    Life brings so many questions, answered and unanswered. Dreams and questioning is what keeps us connected as people. Getting up each day with a charm to persuade, comfort, identify, and encourage others we pass. Or, we pull it within to manage our own day to day; Jeff’s daily walk tried to bring light, prosperity and happiness.

    And boy if you were not in the path of light…Jeff would let you know.

    Passionate for sure. You knew what he thought after he explained it clearly. Lest a Troglio repress something…that can happen, but left unsaid can be worse than having it said right then and there. ?
    Believe, dream, and hold people in your heart. Forgiveness softens memories with time; please remember that as you guide through each day. The love is around you so deep and so wide; yet you may not know it. Take special care in recognizing and cherished love even through the thorns. Jeff, we will grieve for your sudden loss and cherish our time with you. Our prayers are with you as God takes your hand and leads you to the kingdom of Heaven where all of our families abides and watches over us here.
    May the power of peace and the presence of the Holy Spirit be and remain with you always.
