Matt Buckley and I had the opportunity to visit with Jeff at his Classic lake home a couple of times. We told hunting stories, talked Parker talk and generally had a good time. We always looked forward to our next visit. I was pleased to have known him. i will miss those visits.

Todd, I'm so sorry for your loss, and I understand what a friendship like that which you describe can mean.

I realize lots of good comes with the perspective of age, but losing friends is not one of the benefits.

My best to you.

Jim, I'm wondering if Jeff told you about the Parker that a fell into the harbor during his stay in Japan? I'm not sure I remember all of the details, but it was quite the tale.

I don"t recall the Parker in the harbor story. It sounds like one that needs to be told.

I am without words, Jeff and I traveled the same road with Prostate Cancer, we would notify each other about our checkups, and always had each other in prayers. I never met the man, but he was a good friend and he will be missed, What was the cause of his death? Gary
