Had not seen Jeff much the last couple of years. Just heard of his passing. Think of him every time I go past the Shaw Street apartment. Enjoyed him letting me hang out with him and others he knew despite my being conservative and 18 years older. We both had similar interests. Machines Music CPUs and Friends.

Will always remember him.

You changed so many peoples lives, and you really had no idea what you did...part of your charm... I will never forget you, and will live each day of my own life now, with the lessons you taught me.

I was/am-still shocked at this news... Jeff has done my computer work for many years and I found him to be prompt, friendly, very competent and extremely fair. He always took the time to talk through any-and-all my questions. Just a few days before his passing we talked about what he would recommend as I wanted to buy another unit...always helpful and giving free advice. So sorry for your loss...
