J'aimerais vous offrir mes plus sincères condoléances à vous Teresa, vos enfants et toute la famille et les proches. Mes pensées sont avec vous dans ces moments très difficiles que vous passez. 🙏🙏 J'ai été choqué d'apprendre le décès si jeune de Jeff (alias : Beaver). Il manquera à tous.😢😢
Terry Mathew and Alex. I am so sadened by this. Jeff, affectionately known as ( beaver) was truly one of the good guys and loved and admired by all he met and touched. We had some good trips together and fishing with the " boys " was a highlight. He will be missed but never forgotten!
Dear Teresa, Matthew and Alexander, I am deeply saddened by the tragic news of Jeff's passing. My connection to Jeff goes back to my very first job at McDonald's Carrefour Laval many years ago. Jeff was a great leader but most all a great friend. Jeff was there when my younger brother passed at a very young age, Jeff was there as a customer of my dad's shoe repair shop. We connected on and off over the years but I was always happy to see Jeff. May his memory make you smile as I will always cherish Jeff one of the good guys. May Jeff rest in piece. Take care my friend Jeff. Marco Leccese

I never knew him personally but as my boss. That being said, I need to thank him for all his guidance he gave me. The determination he saw in me and the chances he gave me to grow; ie promotions. His memory for me will be remembered through all he taught me. I respected Jeff and hope he rests in peace.
Je n’étais pas ici pour longtemps mais le temps que j’ai passé ici avec toi et l’équipe est sans comparaison. J’ai commencer à travailler pour toi après l’école secondaire. Je s’avait pas où est ce que, je va aller dans la vie. Même maintenant je ne sait pas mon raison d’être mais tu m’a aider d’être en ti peu moins incertain qu’est ce que je va faire. Quand je ne sentait pas bien ta vue la potentiel en moi que je ne pourrait pas. Ta vue d’est choses je ne pouvait pas. Je souviens que tu venue au restaurant chaque journée pour ta café avec un sourire surtout quand c’était Vendredi pour le poisson. Quand je ferais des erreurs t’étais la pour faire les correction et m’aider d’être meilleur un patron. Je me souviens encore que tu me demandais si je voulais monter en grade. Je sais que cela peut paraître insignifiant, mais je vous suis reconnaissant de vous en être soucié. Je me souviens même du moment où vous avez réalisé que j'étais arménien. J'adresse donc à toute la famille mes condoléances, mais aussi ma gratitude. Merci pour tout ce que vous avez fait. Merci de m'avoir donné l'occasion de travailler, de grandir. Merci d'avoir investi en moi. Merci d'avoir pris soin de moi. Vous avez veillé à ce que je porte des gants en hiver parce que j'étais folle et qu'une personne n'en porterait pas. Alors, encore une fois, MERCI et j'espère vous revoir en temps voulu.
I haven't been here for long however, the time I've spent with you and the team has been timeless. I started working for you after high school in which I didn't know where I was headed and your store helped give me some certainty. When I wasn't feeling great you saw the potential I could not. You could see things I could not. I remember you'd come into the store in every morning to get your coffee especially on fish Friday. Whenever I'd make mistakes you'd correct me, coach me and give me pointers. I still remember you'd ask me if I wanted to move up. I know it might sound trivial but I'm thankful that you cared. I even remember when you realized I was Armenian. So to the entire family my condolences but also my gratitude. Thank you for everything you've done. Thank you for the opportunity to work, to grow. Thank you for investing in me. Thank you for caring for me. Making sure I had gloves to wear in the winter because I was wacky a person wouldn't wear them. So again THANK YOU and I hope to see you again in due time.
