In lieu of flowers, donations to the Verona Park Conservancy would be appreciated.
He sure did love the park…then church at OLL. Be happy to donate in his name.
To the Tuscano family,
I will always remember growing up with Jeffrey on Floyd Road playing kickball and riding bikes with all the other floyd road kids. I am very sorry for your loss.
Signed,
Patti Miller

Oh Jeannine, Joe and Kevin-
I am so sorry to hear of this. I wish I lived closer so we could spend some time together. Our sweet, impish, Jeff gone from us… and way too young. Maybe he was simply ready for the next “adventure”-the great unknown beyond this life, you know? I imagine Simone being there to meet him. Perhaps they’ll now BOTH be watching over you all-together again. I send you all my love. As ever, your friend Denise
