Condolences to the family. “Mackie” was one of a kind and we appreciated his efforts and his sense of humor around the golf course.

To Jeff’s family and friends,
Jeff and I were classmates at St Mary’s of the Lake in Hamburg. He was quiet, and always nice. Jeff was friends with my brother. My mother liked him and periodically would invite him for dinner. Jeff was a good man. RIP.
