Not sure what to say?

For some reason I started thinking about my time spent with Jeff and what a great friend he was. I wish the best to his family. I live in Phoenix and Paso Robles, CA.

Jeff was my best friend for a long time. I just want his family to know I'm thinking of our times together.

Wendy, It's hard to believe that Jeff won't be here for the holidays this year and for his birthday. My thoughts and condolences are with you. May 2025 be a joyful year for you. It's time for some joy in your life. Much love, Carol Gardner

I met Jeff and his wife Linda in the early 1980's. They were neighbors to my sister, living off of Rosemont in Lake Oswego. Jacob was young when Linda was diagnosed with cancer. She wrote a booklet geared for young children to help them understand how chemotherapy attacks cancer cells. I remember they had goats and Jeff wanted to learn how to make goat cheese. Jeff shared his interest in reading, music, cooking and tennis with my husband. I ran into Jeff many years later taking a...

Jeff and I trained together in Radiology and Nuclear Medicine. We started at W. Los Angeles Wadsworth VA Hospital in 1970, which was condemned after the 1971 Sylmar earthquake and we switched to Martin Luther King Jr. General Hospital which opened in 1972. After residency and fellowship, Jeff went into private practice at Portland Adventist Medical Center and I went to Glendale Adventist Medical Center in Los Angeles. We enjoyed attending continuing nuclear medical education conferences at...

From the day we met Dr. Jeffrey & I became close friends & confidants. He was a superb physician, pianist & a guy who any man would love to call a friend. I shall deeply miss him, his calls & his voice. Sen. Ed.

What a wonderful tribute to this special man! I learned so much about Jeff that makes complete sense with the person I knew to possess a very dry wit and droll insight into all kinds of life's situations. Jeff is a great example of how to make the most of the limited number of Wednesdays we are given in life. He did it all with humor and aplomb!

My sympathies to the family. Jake, I have many good memories of your dad. It's tough to lose your father. Take extra care of yourself as you grieve your loss but remember the many good times.

Jeff's obituary tells you what an extraordinary man he was. I would just like to add that Jeff was a wonderful dog lover. His latest pooch, Remy, was one lucky dog to have Jeff as his best buddy. We will all miss you, dear Jeff.
