God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not meant to be, so he put his arm around you and whispered “come with me”. With tearful eyes we watched as you gradually faded away, although we loved him dearly we could not bid him stay. A golden heart stopped beating hard working hands to rest. Through grace and faith g…od proved to us he only takes the best.
RIP Jeff…look over your family and keep them safe.
I just want to say I was Honored to have known Jeff and spent time with Jeff it has been many years now but I will always remember many fun snowmobile trips with him. My prayers go out to the Romanowsi family in this difficult time!

I worked on several projects with Jeff when I was at Roquette. Jeff was a great person to work with and was a great representative of his employer Bane-Nelson. Even though it has been several years since I talked with Jeff, I know that he will be missed by many.
