Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
So sorry to hear of Jeff’s passing. We have fond memories of Jeff in our formative years in Beaver Dams, NY, sledding, activities at the Beaver Dams United Methodist church, playing Bonanza Friday nights and Boy Scouts. Peter and Marcia (Overhiser)Kasprzyk
A kind, thoughtful guy. We use to go to B.D. Church togather, collected for U.N.I.C.E.F. We would play ball at the dimond behind the fire dept, Chase one another through the jungle in B.D. A Very super guy. Bless him, Friend’s and Family.
Sending our love and prayers.
So many yesrs have passed since the Hoagland family moved from Beaver Dams. Memories are clear of your loving family. God will reunite us one day. Until then , God bless you all. Love. JoAnn Kasprzyk Baker
With deepest sympathy.
Jean and I met Jeff and his family at the birth of Olivia Hoagland. Please accept our Condolences and may the memories of Jeff in our hearts keep his spirit amoung us. Jean Stark and Walter Kroner
It is one of life’s greatest experiences to have a loving and devoted father. Loss is hard but it does help to remember the love and carry it in your heart. My heart aches for you and your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss but I am glad for the blessing he was in your lives and the lives of all those he touched. I knew Jeff in high school. He was a kind and caring person.
Rocky Mount has lost a kind and sweet man who loved and cherished his family and many friends. So very dedicated. I’ll never forget the day he found out we both were in the same city. He loved reminiscing about his childhood life with friends and family in Beaver Dams, NY.
God Bless all of the family. Even though I haven’t seen Jeff in many many years. I fondly recall his kindness to all while we were growing up in Beaver Dams. Reading his obituary I see he continued his kind ways and served his fellow man with honor and dignity. We shall weep because we will miss him and rejoice because we know he is sitting at Gods right hand.
My deepest sympathy in the loss of your love. May you find comfort in knowing that your dear one is safe in the memory of God, who will remember every detail about him and bring him back again. John 528, 29 gives this assurance.
Jeff inspired and encouraged me to follow God’s call on my life. I attended my first lay speaking class with Jeff. I don’t believe I’d be a Local Pastor or in seminary without crossing paths with Jeff at St. Paul. I pray for peace and love to surround the entire family. I will be prayer warrior for you as Jeff was for my new marriage 6 years ago.
A great part of the Maple Ave. group!! Always the logical one of us. May time and memories ease your sorrow ❤️ Amy
Please accept my condolences on Jeff’s passing. I was a classmate of Jeff’s from West High School. I have many fond memories of Jeff and the school orchestra during trips and concerts. In our senior year, we were chairmates in the first violin section. I learned a lot from Jeff’s years of practice and experience. He was a good friend.
Jeff and I were buddies when we were fifth graders in Beaver Valley Elementary School, just north of Corning, New York. I remember him as a serious, thoughtful person. He and I both liked to read and were interested in nature. Jeff was very well-spoken, and I think he probably was encouraged to succeed by his parents, who I met a few times when I stayed overnight in their home. Jeff enriched my life with our friendship. I’m glad that my sister, Cheryl Van Ness Hagy, somehow heard about Jeff and notified me.
