Jay Pierce
Jeff and I became close friends when we both attended Ellis Elementary in Center Line. After leaving Michigan in the 5th grade, Jeff and I kept in contact for a few years until life just took us in different directions. I would visit my family in Michigan throughout the years when I was in the Air Force but Jeff and I never seemed to find each other. In 2007 Jeff and I reconnected on Myspace (thanks Tom) and have remained in contact ever since. I started making annual trips back to Michigan to visit with Jeff up until his sudden death. He'll be missed by a lot of people. He was my friend, is my friend, and I considered him my best friend for over 50 years. Miss you buddy.
