Kevin Smith said.....................

I consider myself extremely fortunate to have had such a close group of friends over the last 25 years. I am very lucky to have grown up with such good people for the majority of my life. We have all shared many memories, good times and bad, happy times and sad. Through it all, we have remained so close for so long that we have become something more than just friends. We are family, a brotherhood.....something very rare but very true. From early days in school growing up to just last night when we all came together to say goodbye to one of our own. There are countless memories filled with laughter and joy that we have all shared many times over, and numerous photos of times that we have all shared together. We will always have them and will always cherish them. Marriages, children, moves to different areas....all things that normally break up groups of people over the years yet, here we are 25 years later still friends, still family, still brothers. For the original few of us that began this special family years ago and for the additions along the way, we share in one last goodbye to Jeffro. He was many things to many people, but most important to me was that he was my brother. He was one of us, a special member of our special family, and nothing and nobody can ever take that away.
