Words!! How do I put it into words!
My first Words about Jeff’s demise are hard.…I need to dig into memories and how you made an impact on my life, a clear memory is going to seeing movies like goonies, uncle buck and yes the little mermaid…I still have the tickets from the old cineplex by the Woolco mall in north Brantford, My little nephew and his sister.
Other words and Stories, Demolition Derby, ma’s field race track, Field beaters, Stories of selling candy out of your locker in school, Trying to make Wine in the space above the school lockers, Dance Parties, Paint Can rockets, Skates board skiing behind a car, Paint Ball, His wedding, My wedding, and the circumstance with his dads pocket knife and shooting out a car window. In Lieu of flowers and in his honour, go and see the new fast and furious movie. I like to believe he passed away from an uppercut from superman.
Jeff loved his smoked meat, those meat wheels Coke and Energy Drinks, He hated vegetables and hypocrites. Not necessarily in that order. He was a master crafts man, when it came to his cars that he and his dad had built from the ground up. Jeff was also great at grilling steak, chicken, chops and sausages and, ripping around in his Chevelle. I can still here the throttle roaring up the road with a reeeur rerrrrrrrrum as the carburetor sucks in the gas and air with the, what just happened?, look in his eye, flowed by “I love it!!” look and grin. There is not enough room to list the all the people jeff has touched in one way or another. There is a scripture that says, A good name exceeds the value of fine perfume, and the day of someone's death exceeds the value of the day of his birth. ... A good name is better than precious oil. Ecc 7:1.. He has a pretty good name,
I like to believe, Jeff was killed when he ran into a building to save a group of adorable children after which he ran into an embattled a confused superman, who put a stop to all the good things he was doing.
We should weep for men at their birth, not at their death.... I will miss you, Man.
