I think of Jeff every time I see his paintings in my home and office, and the painting he gave my daughter which hangs in her home. He was a talented, interesting man and good friend! And I know how important his family was to him. RIP Ritz!

Elyzabeth, I know this has been a long journey for your family. I'm glad Jeff's in a better place. I'll always remember his unique graphics for your WW lessons. Blessings to your family.

Jeff was always there to help with anything. A man of integrity. A man one could rely on and learn from - I did both. Peace my man.

Jeff was my good friend and I miss him. I know his illness was hard on him and his family. The last time we spoke he was so concerned about Liz and Phelan. I will forever remember the many great conversations and laughter we shared and his fabulous artwork. He was a talented man with a great heart.
