This is why we do this…

I served with jeff in 2004 in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This was by far the best First Sgt. I ever had. He was a true HERO. I was proud to serve with such a great man and the world was a better place with him here. He died doing what he loved and was so close to getting home and retireing. I greatly miss him and wish his family could still have him here to look to for all they need. They are not forgotten. They have hundreds of his troops to watch over them and we would do anything to help them in a time of need. They will always be our family also. GOD BLESS all the troops!

I grew up with Jeff. He was a great friend. He was and remains bigger than life itself. Jeff was a police officer in Plymouth Indiana. He was a tremendous leader and was recently inducted into the Football Hall of fame at Rochester High School in Rochester Indiana. It's commonly understood that the measure of any civilized society is how it treats it's less fortunate. We owe it to Jeff to make certain that his family receives the correct amount of emotional, spritiual and financial support going forward. We certainly can't offset the loss of a husband or father, but we have a responsibility to help where needed. At the end if the day, this will be a measure of Rochester and Plymouth Indiana and of the citizens of these two cities and of Jeff's friends regarding exactly how civilized our society truly is. I'm open to any suggestions for support as I no longer live in the area.
