To the Family of Jeff Boyd,

Please accept my condolences on the passing of Jeff. He was a unique individual who was a very loyal part of the quarry at Landisville. I will always keep in my memory Jeff failing to show to haul Asphalt twenty years ago, because the thought of staining his bed with that "Black Stuff" kept him from sleeping. If that is the worst I can say about Jeff than it shows how much I did respect his efforts when I became more involved with the Quarry.

I apologize that I never told him directly he was a valuable part of my team but rest assured I did appreciate his efforts.

Jeff Sweigart

Candace,

It must be so difficult and we both have been thinking of you! Our hearts go out to you and your family. If there is anything we can help you with please let us know. Jeff was one in a million and we had plenty of laughs Mark and myself miss him already! God Bless! Mark and Lisa McHenry

To Jeff’s Family

My condolence to you. Jeff was my best friend in school. He was so much fun to hang out with. Jeff had a lot of energy and we were always on the go. Fast cars, hunting, snow skiing, or he was finding some kind of job for us both.

I moved to California and didn’t get to spend much time with Jeff, but enjoyed our short visits with him when ever I got back to PA. Eugene Brubaker

Dear Candace & Family

Please accept my deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy on the passing of Jeff. I was shocked to say the least of his passing. He always made me laugh and I enjoyed both your company and friendship. He will be sorely missed by many. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this most difficult time.

Candice, Linda and Jeff are on the beach right now, all tanned up, Jeff being big brother to her, chasing that chiropractor away. I’ll miss him. So sorry. Bill Greenwald.

Dear Candace

My deepest synpathy to you and your family.

Sincerely, Melba Eshleman (SW class)

Words fall short Candace of expressing our sorrow for your loss. May the peace that comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now in the days ahead. What wonderful memories and good times we had with you and Jeff. He will truly be missed. Carla and Steve Paules

Candy, Jeff Jr. and Joellyn,

I will always have fond memories of how Jeff brought knowledge, motivation and fun to the former Salunga Volunteer Fire Company. Remember the donuts in the grass with the 15 passenger van at the fire school? My sincere condolences to you all.

Respectfully,
Bill Martin
