His passing while on the job is tragic and the depth of his loss will be felt within the family of Monroe for years to come."

Jim D’Amico, CSEA Monroe County Unit President “the loss of Jeff in such a tragic accident reminds us all of how vulnerable public employees can be.  My thoughts and prayers go out to his family in their time of sorrow”.  Calling hours are scheduled for Wednesday, January 23 from 4-7 pm at the Leo M.
