Life with Jeff

Observations of the last 37 years

By Joe and Greta

Jeff Class where do I start?

Jeff joined Greta’s family 37 years ago.  He left Lincoln Nebraska on what he thought was a short trip. But on that trip he met a young girl named Debbie. His life was changed from a rowdy Big Red football star to a husband and father in a very short period of time. Greta has many remembered times of Jeff over the years as his life changed and more children were added to Jeff and Debbie’s family. He is a very loving and caring husband and father. He treats Debbie like a princess and his children will always remember him not only as their father but also like their big brother.

I (Joe hall) came into Greta’s life 31 years ago and an early memory was watching him play with Joey, John, and baby Jimmy in the entrance of the home they had in Cypress. This was the time when Rocky Balboa was one of the big movies. I remember Jeff with the three boys circled around him and he was pretending to be Rocky Balboa and had his fists up he would  face each of the boys in turn and  say Rocky’s famous words, "Come on sucker do your best."   Jeff would fall back with any punch the boy’s threw and they would all jump on him.  Whenever they rough house like that Grandma would shout stop it someone is going to get hurt. Of course they did not stop it, they were having too much fun.  Of course now that Jeff is an old man of 60 he has to back off or he could get hurt.  ; )  The boys can all hold their own now.  When Melody was born he now had a girl so he had to ease up on the rough house tactics. Melody has just had a baby boy and by the time he is ready to rough house, Jeff will be too old.

    

 Happy Birthday Jeff

60 Years old WOW
