Dearest Jeff, You were the best friend anyone could ever ask for. My family loved you and we will cherish our memories of such a wonderful, handsome man. I know you are fishing with Leo right now and having a beer. I will never forget you, my friend. Love, Maureen & Louise

Jeff was one of my best friends. I will miss him greatly. We had many laughs together both at work on the job and off the clock. From the gun shows to the shooting range, the golf course to test driving vehicles, video gamming to a night out with friends. He brought joy and laughter to anyone he met. He was a kind, caring person and a tough guy too. The world suffers a great loss in his absence. I will never forget all the fun memories we had as friends and co-workers. Those I will cherish and I hope to reminisce those events with him one day in the afterlife. He was a friend to my entire family, our sincere condolences to his family as our thoughts and prayers go out to them. I wish I could call him up on the phone and talk just one last time. Goodbye my friend.....

Jeff Pyruski, I am never going to forget the many ways in which you touched our lives. Your smile and your laugh were always enough to brighten any of our days. My fondest memory of you was when Brendenbaby chicken wingwas born. You loved that boy and there was never a doubt in how much he loved you back. You were so great to him. You were so great to all of us. My heart is broken to know you are gone. I wish you had more time here. We love you so much Jeff and you will never be forgotten. May you forever rest in peace.

To Jeff's family: I am so sorry for your loss and mine as his friend. I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Jeff. I was very fond of Jeff. I loved his soft, kind and gentleness as a person. He was usually smiling when I saw him. I will remember his smile and his laugh the most. I will miss him dearly. Please know that you blessed this earth with a wonderful human being and he touched the lives of many. I hope that you will be able to smile again one day at just the mention of his name. That is what he would truly want. May God Bless you all through this difficult time in your life. My thoughts and prayers will be with you all. Sincerely, Gloria Schley

It is a sad day indeed when the world must bid farewell to such a genuine 'good guy' as Jeff. He will be remembered well -both often and fondly- by my family, as I'm sure he is already sorely missed by the many countless people whose lives he touched.
