RIP Jeff. You will be missed by your extended family. Jeff married Mary Kay Lawinger on October 15, 1988. It was a beautiful fall day that Jeff became the son-in-law of our sister, Margaret McGraw Lawinger. He was a gentle and kind man, who fit well into our large family. Jeff was supportive of Mary Kay during her father's illness. Daniel Lawinger passed away before he officially became Jeff's father-in-law. Jeff and Mary Kay loved traveling, especially their vacations to Hawaii. They also enjoyed visiting with family at Margaret's house or wherever the gathering was held. We admired the love Jeff had for his three children, Tim, Jenny, and Zach. Jeff was very proud of being a grandfather and would light up talking about his dear grandchildren. Jeff will not be forgotten. Milissa

My heart aches for Zach, Tim, and Jen. Through the years, I did not have enough opportunities to spend time with Jeff, but all that I did have were filled with warm memories. Mary Kay was so happy with him. I wish I could be there to share in the final services to honor him. You are all in my prayers. Sheila Bolmeier - Mary Kay's cousin.
