I worked with Jeff and his dad Morgan beginning 01/87. I retired from Triad Advisors in 2017. He was a friend and fellow colleague who is missed. We had many memories together like at Harpers. One of the most memorable was driving a tank, personnel carrier and jeeps to the Citrus Bowl Parade one year. I still have my hat, "Schofield's Tankers." Rest in Peace

It is with deep saddness that I learn of Jeff's passing. We hadn't spoken for a while, but I thought of Jeff often and all the great times at JKS Co. The last paragraph of his obituary captures Jeff's persona perfectly. Rest in peace my friend.

I haven't seen you since our old hang out days at Harper's Tavern but I thought of you often and will miss the chance to ever see you again here on earth. I thought of you everyday when I drove past your house on my way to work. I wish I would have stopped to say hello.

I will miss Jeff. He was always a kind and sharing person. From American history I remember a humorist, Will Rogers, who was remembered for saying, "I never met a man I didn't like". That was Jeff Schofield.

Jeff was a pledge brother of mine at Florida Sate and a person that I always enjoyed being around because of his warm and funny outlook. I pray I will see you in heaven some day when we can be together and talk about our days at Pi Kappa Phi.

Love, "Jarat"

I spent several years (since 01/1987) with Morgan, John and Jeff in the brokerage business. Jeff was a kind and gentle man. We shared many long talks on life together especially concerning spiritual matters. I know I touched him deeply as he reflected on his life. I loved Jeff as a brother. I stayed in touch with Jeff after he left the company. However, we lost contact over the past couple of years. The passing of Jeff saddened my partners and me at Wall St Investment Managers. My heart goes out to the family especially to Carey. God Bless.

Jeff was a great guy. I have many fond memories of times spent with him. My favorite was a trip to New Orleans with him on John's jet, when the hydraulics failed on the way back to Orlando.

I will miss my old friend.

I remember Jeff well from my days with the fraternity in Tallahassee. He was someone I looked up to as a lowly and scared freshman. My thoughts go out to his family.

Jeff has been a friend since we attended Glenridge and Winter Park High School class of 1968. He will be missed by so many friends.
Thank you Jeff for all the fun, friendship, stories and history lessons.

I'm very saddened to hear. Lost contact the past several years, but I've often asked about you, of mutual friends. You possessed a gentle, kind and endearing quality of character and and a keen intellect. I very much miss our conversations and your insights.
