I am so sorry to hear of Jeff's passing. It is so sad and unexpected. I've known Jeff since he started working for Aiello's. I've recently moved from Kenosha, but still try to stop in and see the guys at the station anytime I come back into town. Every time I saw Jeff, he ALWAYS had a light of happiness around him and a smile SO big. I will miss that bright smile and infectious laugh but will hold them in my memories. Peace for the family during their healing.

I have child hood memoirs of all of the kids in the Grant neighborhood, the Steins have always been known as a great loving family, starting withe the parents that brought them into our lives. I pray and know that Jeff is in a better place, and I offer all of the peace I can give.
