I really enjoyed his announcing style...another great from the hey-day of game shows has left us and the genre is worse off as a result.

Rich Jeffries was one of the last of the old-school announcers and certainly one of the last of the Goodson-Todman legacy of announcers.

One of my favorite announcers. Jeff was an inspiration to my own long broadcasting career. So sorry for your family's loss.

Jeff was one of our oldest friends from Bass High days. His integrity, wit, and kind spirit made him very special. We will miss him dearly, but we will always have many fond memories of him and will think of him often. Brenda, we love you and hope that time and friends will help heal the despair you feel from the loss you have endured.
