Presentation and his Kids wasn't turn away by him. If you don't want to help get the heck out of this thread ,I dont mean to sound cruel but sometimes people that want to be left alone would like to be left alone.
Geez I'm sorry I thought this was a open forum. Wayne, since this topic might become too emotional for you, it might be a good idea if YOU get the heck out of this thread. I wouldn't want to see you quit CSR... again.Presentation and his Kids wasn't turn away by him. If you don't want to help get the heck out of this thread ,
Maybe its just me but, I can't feel too sorry for the guy. For his health issues yes, but otherwise no. Besides, his health cannot be too terribly bad, he is single handing a 35' house boat!! Therefore, it seems to me he is able to work. Ahh, but if he works, no more disability checks...
Everyone here on this forum knows that damn thing he's living on is uninsured and is a huge liability. I say if you want to give handouts, start up a fund to pay for the cleanup's needed when it sinks.
Doug, That is not fair saying that I can not relate to someone like Jeff. On the contrary, I most certainly can. I read the article that said he did not want pity. I read your statements saying that after meeting him he stated that he just wanted to be left alone. Has anyone thought that maybe he didn't want a newspaper running an article about him? Maybe he didn't want people like yourself running internet searches about his personal history? Maybe he was too embarrassed that strangers, including children, are giving him allowance money that he didn't want to say anything. I hope for his sake this doesn't become a circus show although it appears it's already started. BrianBirdog and Newbie, I am not upset by either of your posts in the slightest. On the contrary I’m happy that both of you are healthy and have a support system of friends and family that is so strong that you cannot relate to someone that has none of these things. Bless you both.
You must have read right past this from the OP (Presentation) who went to see him. He said....3. Again, there is no quote in the article anywhere that says or even implied by the reporter, "I want to be left alone." I read and re-read and could not find that statement. Hmm? What I did read was that he felt he was not hurting anyone and, that when the spring came he would leave that park.

"To be clear, Jeff does not want to live in government housing or live on government handouts. The only thing he is asking for is to be left alone and he is promising that come spring when the ice melts he will be on his way. He gets about $1,000/month in disability".
