6 Aug 2002 Jeffrey Schweikl, known as "Herbie", was a high school friend of mine. He was funny and a great friend to many. Herbie was a graduate of the Enumclaw High School Class of 1966. He died at the young age of 18. He will always be missed. From a friend, Debby (Evans) Campbell debbycampbell@attbi.com

 

11 Feb 2007 Jeffrey Allan Schweikl was my Uncle. Unfortunately since my Mom (his sister) was just ten years old at the time he died I never got to meet him. I have heard stories about him over the years and he sounded like a GREAT guy. I would have LOVED to have gotten to know him. Thank you, Jeff, for all that you did for our country and in your life. Rest In Peace, my Uncle, and I wish I could have met you. Also a big "Thank You" to whoever started this page to honor his memory. From his niece, Sarah Walthers rwalth3867@aol.com
