He enjoyed successful careers at Kinney’s Shoes, Christensen Chevrolet, and Route 1 Chevy. Nicknamed Batman – Jeff often played the role of the Joker – making everyone laugh at any family occasion – especially this most recent Thanksgiving. Jeff believed in and cherished family. He was an avid sports fan – lucky enough to see the Cubs win the World Series. He also enjoyed the horse track – with one of his highlights being able to call the race over the P.A. Visitation will be on Wednesday, November 29, 2017 from 3:00-8:00 pm with a service of remembrance at 7:30 pm at Kish Funeral Home, 10000 Calumet Ave. Munster, IN. Funeral service will be held on Thursday at 11:00 am at the funeral home.
