I worked with him for 23 years. I don't think there is enough space here to tell all my stories. Always had a smile when he came to my desk but of course I made him laugh a lot. I will never forget how straight his drawer was. Every thing in order. Jeff was always polite to me and felt like we were all family in the Claims Dept. at Millers. One story was at Ginny Hausman's retirement party... Ginny and Jeff had a little too much to drink. I think we all did. Jeff went to give Ginny a hug goodbye and they both fell on the floor. Still hard to believe he has passed.

Jeff was one of the nicest and friendliest of people I worked with at Millers. He and Janet made a lovely couple. My condolences to you all.

Carl .. I also wanted to offer condolences on behalf of Millers Mutual employees. I have shared to our website that your dad has passed away. Many of his coworkers are sadden by his passing. I worked side-by-side with your dad and I know he thought the world of you. He continually talked about you in the 23 years we worked together. He was very proud of you. Also, would you please give Janet our condolences
