I am so sorry to Mr and Mrs Kalb on the loss of Jeff. Him and I have been great friends for over 14 years and I am in shock. He was the person who always knew how to make everyone laugh and smile but also know their worth. He valued every friendship and every person. He was funny but also a giant teddy bear. I’m going to miss our conversations, our laughs, how he knew what to say when I was down and just him always being there. May your pain ease a little every day knowing how much he was loved.
The thing that I remember the most about Jeff was how happy he was to share with members of his community and how proud he was when people enjoyed his creations that he painstaking created from scratch in his kitchen. He must have said to me 100 times how one of the best compliments of his life is when wrestler Nick Gage told him how good his turkey noodle soup was. Rest In Peace my friend. I will miss talking with you and calling you my friend.
First AIW show I ever went to he befriend me, talked to me like he know me 20 years, I was just some random dude and he befriended me, ill always remember that and I talked to him at every AIW show after, I'm going to miss him
