Tappendorf , Jeffrey"Jeff", " Giorgios" Found peace on Thursday, December 17, 2015, age 63 years and lives on in our hearts. Jeffrey was known and dearly loved for his eloquence, his courage, grace and strength; no matter the obstacle and his clear insight and creativity as a musician, photographer, lighting director and landscape artist. If you gave Jeffrey a project, he would brilliantly complete it and if you needed help, in any way, you could trust in his warm and capable hands. Jeffrey's memory lives on in the hearts of Joan (nee Bodnar), his wife; Kenneth (Margaret) and the late Donna (nee Schimenz), his parents; Michael (Donna) and Jim (Kim), his brothers; Rachel (Craig) and Matt (Audrey), his niece and nephew and in many members of the Tappendorf and Bodnar families and true, long standing friends who loved and appreciated Jeffrey through the joyful times and while Jeffrey was receiving Oncology treatments. In order to honor Jeffrey and celebrate his life all are invited to attend his Memorial visitation and Mass at St. Veronica's Church, 4001 So. Whitnall Ave. on Friday, January 8, 2016, 9-11:00 AM visitation followed by Mass of Christian Burial 11:00 AM.
