August 20, 1953 - July 21, 2007
A private man with a quiet smile, gentle manner and humble heart. His lighthearted exterior did not hide his sensitive soul. Jeff was a devoted and loving father who cherished his children, Drew and Haley. He was loved dearly by his children, his parents and sisters.

Jeff was a great person. He always made everyone laugh for the things that hes has done or heard. He was a hard working man and always finshed what he has started. I miss him alot and will always cherish every memory of him. Jeff Terkla was a great father and treated his kids the best. Best wishes out to Drew and Haley. Hes very missed and loved.
Jeff was a great person and neighbor. He cared, and he always tried to take care of us, like a father would. I looked forward to his smile when I got home from work, or when we were out washing cars. My children thought he was great, because he would chat with them like they were grown ups. He was a good person, and I will miss him.
To Drew, Gloria, Tracy, Cindy, and your families, Our deepest sympathy & love.
Mary, Leslie & Julie
