What an incomprhensible and tragic loss of a wonderful young man. He was one of my favorite soccer players, one of the finest goal keepers and one of the most helpful and reliable people I ever had the pleasure of working with. God bless you and your family. God receive you and may we all see you one day.

Jeff was always very kind, cordial, helpful and professional while working behind the counter, as I would come into the Pro Shop at Crossgates. When I would talk to him about his tremendous example and skills in his weight lifting and the discipline that he performed in doing so, Jeff was extremely humble in sharing with me, as I asked him questions, in all that he did. I am grateful to have called Jeff my friend. May the Lord Jesus, as only He can and will, provide you, his beloved family and many friends, much comfort and His grace during these most difficult days and time to come. In Christ’s love, Don Landis

So sorry to learn of Jeff’s passing last week; needless to say it came as a real shock. I worked for years with Jeff in the Pro Shop at Crossgates Golf Club and really enjoyed those times when we worked together; always willing to help out whenever needed. He will be missed by so many golfers who passed through the Pro Shop doors, all those who worked with him at the course or in the Copper Hill Public House. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends and may his soul rest in peace.

To Jeff’s loved ones…I’m sad to learn of his passing. Jeff and all of you are in my prayers. As a volunteer at Crossgates I always enjoyed our conversations and appreciated his friendship. It was my fortune to have shared a bit of life’s journey with him. May God help each of you find strength and comfort, and to experience His Peace, during this difficult time.
Peace be with you all, Wayne Hoffman
