This is a very sad time for so many people that their lives were touched by this wonderful man. I worked for many years with Jeff a long time ago. He was a wonderful Executive for the company and treated everyone with respect. He was my friend. I do not recall one single person that did not like Jeff. He was just that type of person. I almost passed up a promotion because I enjoyed being his secretary so much.
I wish Phyllis and his children and grandchildren much healing and for them to know that he will always be watching over them.
RIP my old friend!
