Dale, Julie, Mere & Julia,
We were saddened to learn of Jeff's passing. He was a great and kind and his legacy, GHS Crew lives on and continues to bring happiness to men and women who otherwise might not have known there was such a sport! Rowing gave our son, Ben, phenominal leadership skills, got him recruited for college and a law school scholarship! All of this thanks to Jeff's desire to create a crew program and persistence to make it a reality! Our thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time! I can still see Jeff on the water taking his time with the rowers! The Pelegano's are traveling in Europe at the moment and send their heartfelt condolences! It's so fitting that you're holding his service at the Boathouse and we're sorry we can't be there to celebrate Jeff's life and legacy with you. My wonderful of happy memories of happy times together carry you through this difficult time! Rest in peace, dear Jeff and give your coxswain a Power of 10!
All our love,
Mel & Lou Flaherty
