Condolences

  1. Jeff & I attended the Nora Toastmasters Club in Indianapolis. Jeff was an excellent speaker, and was especially known for his ability to evaluate speeches in a thoughtful and caring way. I always learned something valuable from him. He was kind and funny, and took great delight in the accomplishments of his fellow Toastmasters.

  2. Susie and I regret that we didn’t get to know Jeff, we’re sure he would have enlightened our lives.

  3. I only met Jeff a handful of times at some of the IPI meetings. But I always enjoyed his presentations, and his gift for speaking. He always had good advice and was eager to share it with anyone who needed it…including myself. I appreciate his help and will miss him. My thought and prayers are with Jeff and his family.

  5. Anne,

    I had only known Jeff for a short time, but it was apparent that he was a man of integrity. I was most impressed by his knowledge of Real Estate and Rapier Wit. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

  6. I heard the news at a toastmaster’s meeting. Jeff was extremely active in Toastmaster’s and was a long time officer. He will be missed by all. Everyone loved Jeff… a great guy. Funny, great sense of humor, modest, and had the ability to laugh. Our thoughts are with family and friends.

  7. I had only met Jeff a few weeks ago at the Indy Property Investors meetings and now consider myself so blessed for having known him. He was such a caring, unselfish man, passionate in his wanting to help others. He made me feel so welcome at the meetings with his genuinely sincere attitude. I will really miss him. My heart goes out to his family. I will hold you all in my thoughts and prayers.

  8. Anne, We want you to know how much we cared for Jeff, not only as a director and educator at IPI, but mainly as a close trusted dear friend. Jeff never met a stranger that we saw. He was one of the first to show up at IPI and one of the last to leave. He always had time for each individual, it didn’t matter who it was. Jeff would have that posed (I’m listening to you) look on his face and you knew at that moment you had his undivided attention. He was honest, genuine, and sincere, all of those qualities are rare today. He not only left a tremendous impact on the world, but he also leaves a big whole in our hearts. Anne please know that you as well will remain in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless you and comfort you like only He can…

  9. Anne,
    I was the reporter assigned to cover Jeff’s untimely death, and I’m so sorry for your loss. I, too, was at the scene with Mr. Jackson and just wish to express my regrets in what I know much be a truly troubling time. Even reporters, as objective as we are supposed to be, are human, and as a young journalist, I feel the pain of this family from miles away. I wish you all the very best during this difficult time.

  10. Dear Anne. We knew Jeff as a very caring, sweet, and giving man. Know that you are in our hearts and our thoughts are with you and your family.

  11. I was so sorry to hear the news of Jeff’s passing. We had so many good times together and I will miss him.
    My best wishes and prayers to the family.

  13. Your family is in our prayers, I want you to know that I was the first one on the scene out on that lonely country road last Thursday. That I lifted this man up in prayer and asked for gods mercy on him and his family. I know now that his name was Jeffrey Sharp. I know that god has him in his arms now. I am here if you need to talk to me. Dan Jackson, Stanley Chevrolet McCordsville, Indiana

  14. I knew Jeff through the Nora Toastmaster’s Club. Jeff had a wonderful sense of humor and it often showed in his speeches. I always enjoyed being around him. He was an integral part of our club and he will be missed. My heart goes out to his family for their loss.

  15. My condolences to Anne and the whole Sharp family. What a tremendous sorrow!
    I am praying for all of you. May God comfort you.
    May Jeff Rest in peace.

  17. I am shocked and very sad to hear this news. I knew Jeff as a member of the Nora Toastmasters club. Jeff was a dynamic and polished speaker that interjected personality and wit into each speaking opportunity. I enjoyed our conversations before and after meetings. I will miss him as a mentor and friend.

    My deepest regrets for your loss,

    Matthew

  18. I’m not aware of all of the great impacts that Jeff had on this world but mentoring an International Toastmasters Club was certainly one of them. I had the privilege of knowing his gentle spirit for only a few short weeks. His ease with words and spontaneity were remarkable. He spent this time assisting members improving speaking skills that would improve their lives immensely. He is kind, intelligent, inspirational, dedicated, humerous and will surely be missed. Jody

  19. Anne,
    My prayers are with you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. I can be a good listener so if you need to talk or even just yell please call.

  20. The world will be a poorer place without Jeffrey’s keen sense of humor, his inovative idea’s and his unique perspective. I miss my friend.

  21. I can’t begin to express how saddened I am to hear of Jeff’s leaving us. I knew Jeff through IPI and always found his dry wit & vast knowledge very helpful to me. He was so willing to share his wisdom over & over & over with new people who were constantly asking the same old questions. He never tired of talking real estate. It was truly his passion and it showed. I remember seeing him in eviction court on several occasions and it always made a crummy part of the business a little bit brighter. He will be truly missed.

  23. Anne, our hearts and prayers are with you in this time of need. We knew Jeff through IPI. He was a generous and caring fellow who always had good advice for us in our dealings in real estate. He will be sorely missed. If you need anything IPI is here for you Anne.

  24. Jeff will be greatly missed. He was a great help to my wife and I for the last 4 years at the Indy Property Investors meetings. Our deepest sympathies and condolences to the family.

  25. Dearest Anne,
    My thoughts and many prayers are with you in this most dificult time. I pray that God gives you much strength. I am so so sorry for your loss. Love, Mindy

  26. Anne,

    I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

  27. My condolences to the family. I knew Jeff through Toastmasters, where he was a great guy and a good friend. He will be missed by us all.

  29. Jeff was my brother-in-law as I was married to his brother Cal. I loved Jeff and have many happy memories. I can’t begin to express the sorrow I feel for your loss. I regret that I didn’t get to meet you Anne. I will keep you and the family in my thoughts and prayers.
    God Bless you all.

  30. My most recent memory was joining Jeff and other friends at a Japanese restaurant for a dinner both Jeff and I found a bit distasteful. A small part of life but a memory I love. I saw Jeff in our office at random and always had brief conversations over many things. I loved his company and looked forward to seeing him.

    I understand the circumstances of his death and extend heatfelt warmth to you, Anne and all his family. I am closer than you know to this travesty, and offer to share with you my personal experiences if you feel a need to gather more insight into understanding and coping with this loss. My deepest regrets for our loss of your loved one, and our friend at our office.

  31. Jeff was a buddy of mine for 10-12 years.
    My wife was a fellow programmer with him back at IPLCO.
    Jeff and I were both R.E. types (I a lowly landlord).
    My wife and I had dinner with Jeff and Ann 4 or 5 times a year.
    We feel bad about this and will spend more time with Ann.

  32. Anne, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you as well as Jeff’s family can find peace in the memories you carry.

  33. Anne,

    I was so sorry to hear about Jeff. Please accept my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

  34. Anne,

    My thoughts and prayers are with you. I only had the opportunity to meet Jeff once and I was impressed with his warmth, caring nature, sense of humor, and intelligence. I am so sorry for your loss. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

  35. I am so sorry for your loss. I met Jeff through Nora Toastmasters just 2 months ago. He was always very friendly and a very dynamic speaker. I remember he always had a smile on his face. Jeff was very encouraging to me, and I often asked him for suggestions on how to improve my speaking skills. I will miss him at our meetings. God Bless, Brian

  38. Jeff, your humorous speeches have brought us many wonderful momments. Thank you!

    Bless!! You will certainly be missed!

  40. Please accept my deepest sympathy. I was only able to know Jeff for to short a time, he was the first person I meet at Toastmasters. I will miss his guidiance his warmth and his simle. It was always a pleasure to hear him speak and I will rember him fondly and always with gratitude for his guidance and friendship. Peace be With You.

  42. My deepest sympathy to Anne and Jeff’s family. My prayers and thougts are with you at this sad time. Jeff was one of my son John’s good friends and I remember him at John and Lisa’s house.
    Sincerely, Jane Horning

    We’ll miss you. Jeff.

  46. Dear Anne,
    I can’t express how saddened I feel for your enormous loss. After spending time with you and Jeff in your home last summer I felt the love and respect between the two of you, something so rare, many people search a lifetime trying to achieve that kind of bliss.
    I cannot even begin to imagine the pain that you feel right now. I hope and pray for God give you strength, comfort and direction for a life of peace, faith and purpose.
    your friend,
    Donna Laird

  47. Dear Anne,

    I am so very sorry for your loss. May God give you strength and love of friends.

    Sincerely,

  48. Anne, I am so saddened by Jeff’s untimely passing. May God be with you at this difficult time. My thoughts are prayers are with you and your family.

  51. Jeff was the first person to “take us under his wing” at the I.P.I. meetings and for the last 5 years has always been there for us. No one will ever take his place, he was one of a kind. Thank you Anne for sharing Jeff with us, I can’t even imagine your loss. This life is as a vapor, but we will spend eternity with the Lord and with our loved ones , we have that great promise.
    Tim and Debra Knight

  52. Jeff was always there with a warm smile to greet you and was always more than happy to take the time with each and every investor that sought his advice. He was a warm, genuine person from the inside out and will be dearly missed.

  53. How do I say goodbye to one of my oldest friendsà. I wonÆt. For each year I knew Jeff I will use up the each of the rest of my years with many fond memories and I will try to give back to the world some of what he gave to me through all those years. Only then will I say goodbye, but I am certain that Jeff will outlast me. We are all fortunate to have been in his company.

    Dave B.

    My prayers and condolences go out to his family and friends.

  69. Dear Ann, We’ve had the chance to talk and yet I wanted you and the rest of his family to know how much he was loved by Horndauwgh, Jay and me. Jeff was one of Johnny’s first friends I met.

Just know that you are loved and cared about and will always be in my heart…love, lisa

  70. ’While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil.ö – John Taylor

    Albeit an abrieviated friendship, I count myself fortunate to have met Jeff through the Nora Toastmasters Club with which I had recently affiliated. Jeff was a true leader by example in all things Toastmaster, and I’m sure this quality followed him in every aspect of his existence. His warm smile, quick wit and gentle demeanor will be missed, but not forgotten.

  71. Jeff my fan.
    Over the last 8 years or more i travel to the Major Taylor Velodrome in Indy to race track bikes.Jeff and Ann would come out and cheer my addiction on .One race that stands out was 1999 Nationals.I had a great night and was riding strong punishing the field. after the race other riders gave me praise for pulling them around and riding aggressivly.What helps you is that friend in turn #1 yelling your name.After the race i had someone snap a picture of Ann,Jeff,John Rafert who got me into cycling,Jane and Johns son Max.That picture is now more dear to me than the night it was taken.
    The last time i talked to Jeff i was yup on my way to the track.we spoke on the phone for about an hour which started by me calling in my ghetto voice and asking jeff
    wad up bro you can fixa mes up whicha crib and bitches.it was the way most of my calls to jeff started.I dont know when the stark reality of my fans fate will sink in, i guess like alot of us iam still in denial/ shock.Maybe next year in june when iam driving to race the track and i think about making that call.and then when i dont hear that framiliar voice lets go Bruce.You will be missed my fan as a fan of yours.I race but you are my catalyst for laughter.a trait some can never achieve no matter of the training or wealth or personal achievments.
    all of my love and thoughts to Jeffs family Ann,his mom , Tim
    Chris , Digger ?

  72. So sorry for your loss. I found Jeff to be the easiest member of IPI to talk to and looked at him as a mentor, especially after taking his class last summer.

  73. Dear Anne, Jeffs family and friends,

    I met Jeff in grade school and we were very good friends as we came of age together through high school, college, and for many years after before we lost contact. Jeff was precise and articulate living life to its fullest. He enjoyed helping others to understand the way things worked. His word was gold. He was genuine.

    I am certain that each of us decides when to check out. Jeff is not gone forever he has just changed form. One day we may understand.

    I remember Jeff for his loyalty, friendship, and expansive thinking ability. It is comforting to read his impact on the lives of others, and find peace in the understanding that he gave these things to all of you long after our paths took us in different directions.

    Warmest regards with aloha,

    Paul Willems

  74. I will miss Jeff for many reasons. He was a friend, trainer, confidant. His attitude and spirit made every encounter enjoyable. I remember sharing humor with him a few years back after his cycling accident. It was the type of thing that only he could appreciate. That was the essence of Jeff. His presence is missed greatly.

  75. Dear Anne, We are so sad to hear that Jeff is gone. Hard to believe it. We will miss him and his humor. We are praying for you, for peace and strength, during this terrible time. Love, Kathy, Kim, and Rachel Peterson

  76. I’m John W. James Jr’s youngest son.
    I was very sad to hear of Jeff’s death. He and your family are in my prayers.

  77. To Aunt Kathleen and Anne –
    I am so sorry to hear about cousin Jeff and for your loss. The many tributes in this guestbook are a testimony to Jeff’s positive impact on those around him. You are in my prayers.

  78. Anne,

  79. The words are hard to think of. What do you say? Our hearts go out to you. He will be so missed. Please let us know what we can do. Fondly – Jim and Lisa hART

  80. Dear Anne, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I can’t even begin to understand the hurt that you are going through at this time. I just want you to know that I am here for you if you need a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, or whatever the need. I have you in my thoughts and prayers. Always remember that the Lord is with you and will give you all the strength you need if asked. I have been thinking about all the fun times all of us had together way back when!! Just know your friends are here for you. Jeff will be missed. God Bless you Anne. Love, Cindy
