It saddens me greatly to hear the news that Jeff is no longer with us. I´d known and worked with him for almost 30 years. He was one of the people who made me feel welcome and at home when I worked at NASA HQ. Always quick witted, and kind. He was incredibly generous with his time, always willing to lend a hand. He will be missed. To his family, he spoke of you quite often and always had great stories of family gatherings. Wishing you peace and May fond memories comfort you during this difficult time.

Extending my heartfelt condolences to Jeff´s family and close friends. I´ve known Jeff through our working together at NASA over about 25 years. We enjoyed commuting together into DC when we first took new jobs at NASA HQ in 1998. He always expressed such great fondness toward his family and Texas. May his memory be a blessing to all who were fortunate enough to know Jeff.

This is a tragedy..way too young. Fond memories of Jeff from our San Antonio days. Sincere condolences to all.

I'm so sorry. Jeff was a wonderful neighbor. When we would run into him walking Jeana while we were walking our toddler home from daycare, Jeff would walk Jeana past his own house to ours so my son could walk all the way home with Jeana (my son loved Jeana). Jeff will be sorely missed. I hope all the years of good memories bring you comfort.
