Father Jeffrey was a good man and a fine priest. We had many interesting conversations about faith; he also had a good sense of humor. Rest in peace with the Lord.

To all the Brothers I offer sympathy. I knew Father Jeff through Sacred Heart Church in Lebanon NH. I was privileged to be a guest at the LaSalette, Attleboro MA "Big House." He and Father Norm and Father Bernie were kind to me as I ventured off to another part of the country. Wonderful memories for me. Condolences to Father Jeff's family.
