I met Jeff when he came to Portland and started working with me screen printing at Creations Unlimited, in 1997. We became friends rather quickly, working together all day, listening to music on the boombox I had at work. It turned out that we had apartments around the block from each other and wound up hanging out after work a lot as well.
We played poker, blackjack, spades, cribbage and threw darts at his place, mine, and other friends of ours. We discovered that we were both Washington Redskins fans and watched football on weekends. We started a fantasy football league with a few other friends that lasted over 20 years.
When Jeff turned 21 I bought him his first legal beer at Stone Coast Brewing. Stone Coast became our go to place and we went there often to play pool, sing on karaoke nights, see bands, and watch football.
Even though we had both moved to new jobs and apartments in the late 90s we were still always in touch. We would go to Sebago Brewing for beers and burgers 3 or 4 nights a week for many years.
We traveled to New Hampshire and Boston to see shows by bands we loved like the Dropkick Murphys, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Reverend Horton Heat, Social Distortion, and others.
We went with friends to Foxborough see the Patriots play football.
We played a lot of disc golf at all the local courses.
I went to Sebago less often after I moved to Westbrook in 2010 but always made an effort to get there once a week to catch up with Jeff on the latest tv shows and decide what concert we might want to going to next.
When covid started we watched the Dropkick Murphys St Patrick’s day livestream together over the phone, both toasting each other with Guinness and commenting on how great the show was.
Covid really slowed things down for our friendship and I saw and heard from him less and less, but we still got together when we could. We saw Me First and the Gimme Gimmes in April with our friend Rhad and my wife and I gave him rides to backyard cookouts at Harv and Mariann’s when the weather warmed up. We gave him a ride there and back on the Fourth of July and that was the last time I saw him.
I always take 2 weeks of vacation in August during which we always got together to celebrate both of our birthdays which were less than a week apart. I would always get together with him after work on the Friday evening after my last day at work before vacation.
This year was the first time in years that I didn’t get together with Jeff to start my vacation in many years, with the exception of 2020 due to covid.
Cheers to you Jeff, I’m really going to miss my best friend.
Jeff you will be forever missed and remembered. We will always love you.
Love you
Your light will live on in my heart forever, my dear friend. Words cannot describe how much you are loved and missed, already.
I always loved talking to Jeff when he came to my brothers house. I’ll always remember him for his light hearted, good natured personality and incredible warmth towards others. Jeff even traveled to Pennsylvania to help me and my brother lay our dad to rest. He was a true friend and I will miss him.
I met Jeff in 2000 and had the great pleasure of getting to know him over many years. Jeff was a very well read, humorous, and good natured person. He always made time for his Dad and his friends. He was the kind of friend
you hope to have in life: someone who would listen to you, give you the truth, or just share a meal with. Jeff and I had some
Adventures abroad together, attended concerts, started a business, and many more things. Rest in peace brother, you are missed.
Jeff always gave the best hugs, that was one way that Jeff showed his love to me as his Uncle. We will miss him deeply!
Jeff was a kind & generous friend & confidante, with a hearty laugh. He’d offer my mother his arm when we’d be walking. She loved that. We enjoyed hearing about his fabulous holidays with the Frigon clan!
