So sorry for your passing, may you rest in peace
My sincere Sympathy and Condolences for your family, children and Randie.
I didn’t know you very well because I didn’t allow myself to get close to people, but I had great respect for you when I worked with you at Jackpot Casino in the Overnight Security Department. You had ways of being funny but yet serious. Thank You for being an incredible person and just know you will be Greatly Missed.
God took another Angel Home to early. Rest in Peace Jeff.
