With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Jeff "Buck" Berens, 66,.
A life is more than dates on a stone; here is a small portion of his story.
The story begins in 1951, with the arrival of a life that would be cherished by many.
Jeff spent his working life as ['a better boss'] and held deeply to the Presbyterian faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
A life of belief is a life of quiet conversation with something larger.
