Known throughout Western New York and beyond for his kindness and generosity, 

Jeff shared his knowledge as a West Seneca business owner, community leader and assistant baseball coach at St Francis High School.  His passion for life was contagious and he will always be remembered by his family, friends, teammates and players as 

“better than the best”.  

As a 1988 graduate of West Seneca East, Jeff was not only a 3 sport athlete but also ranked in the top 10 of his class defining a true student athlete.  His success in school provided him a Division 1 academic and athletic scholarship to pursue his degree in business while playing the game he loved. 

As a young man, and through his college career Jeff always wore the #15, 

in an effort of continuing his legacy of giving, the JMS Foundation will be awarding
