Jeff

It deeply saddens my heart that we were just talking shop at the Quick trip gas station not two days before the tornado hit Joplin, MO.

I cannot express in words right now how I feel about the fact that I had the privilege of knowing you to be a good man.

I pray that the Taylor family will endure the loss of your love, your bravery, your courage, your sacrifice...

We will miss you brother....
