They fell in love and were married in Pennsauken, in 2007. Jeff and Pam have happily enjoyed 14 years of marriage. His brother in law, Michael, quoted these words, "If you didn't like Jeff, there is something wrong with you!" Jeff was a kind and happy guy, he would brighten any room with his positive energy. He was even written up, one time, for being too nice to his customers, which gave all a good laugh. He loved history and majored in it, in college. He was also a big sports fan, he loved the San Jose Sharks, the Philadelphia Eagles and watching random rugby matches. He had multiple jobs in his career, but none made him prouder, than being a manager in the Burger King Corporation. Besides his parents, Jeff is predeceased by his stepson; Richard John Garber II.
