Papa

Papa, probably your favorite nickname! Birthday spankings, wet willies, riding 3 wheelers, or just hanging out. The kids still talk about it all, especially the spankings since they all had their birthdays.

Music

Lately when I think about Jeff I think about music. He listened to every genre. As a kid I remember listening to Metallica, Rob Zombie, Hank Williams Jr, Johnny cash. The as a teen he discovered Brantley Gilbert, Joss Stone. I feel like he really helped me to find my love for music and to turn to music to express my feeling and to just jam it out! So many songs make me think of him and it brings me joy that I can just play something and feel him near me.
