"To Carolina, Family & Friends,So sorry for the sudden loss of Jeff, it came as a shock to all of us. Hard to believe he is gone. We had some good times, memories of camping & the drags. He was a talented mechanic & loved to make things go fast! His Chevelle was his pride & joy, his red speedboat 'Sea U Later' they were his amazing crazy fast creations. When we remember him we will think of those, I think he would like that. Jeff will be missed a lot. He left us all too soon. Rest in peace Jeff and God Bless You. Love, Donna, Joey, and Justin Lafleur"

"Writing here is just surreal..... Jeff made you laugh. He always had this special way of telling a story no matter the subject. His smile could light up a room and even more so if Carolina was in it with him. GOD must have needed a great mechanic in heaven. I sure hope there are fast cars and boats with big engines up there. You will be greatly missed by our entire family. To all of his family please know we are holding all of you in our hearts and prayers. We love and miss you Jeff.... John, Debbie, Maranda & JJ"

"My Deepest thoughts and Prayers go out to Jeffs family and friends Growing up In Island Park was the most fun a kid could have Hot Rods Dirt Bikes leather jackets. I new Jeff as a young Kid i was slightly older but he was always ahead of the curve great memories. I moved away but always stopped in at Moms to hang at the shop / Garage to kick back shoot the crap and lend a helping hand on whatever project he was working on and man was it fun and we drank a few Beers on many occations.He will be Missed and his passing hit me hard and I still cant get over it.Jeff and Howie restored my 1966 Elcamino and I would pop in from Vegas and Florida to lend some help but he was awesome and gave me some Scare rides in the 70 Chevelle he could build shit that went super fast and could scare the crap out of a guy but I always felt like he could handle any situation. Jeff was an awesome Dude and new more about everything mechanical and stuff in general I could call him on anything. Eugene Costa [ Genie Boy Costa ] Vahalla Norseman Dr / Cove street R.I.P.
