Lori and family, You have lost a wonderful husband father. We have lost a very dear friend. Jeff was like one of my boys. When Jimmy brought him over to meet Harrison and I, I loved him as my son as did Harrison, right then. I have so been blessed that Jim shared Jeff with us. What a geat guy. He loved us all and will always be special in my heart. Even if he did put sunglasses and antlers on my first "little deer". We have laughed so much with Jim and Cathy. He had a way of expressing himself that he didn't even know about. He always had that angelic look in his eyes. God know he was no angel. It will be so hard to go deer hunting without him. I will miss my hugs and all the wonderful things about him. When him and Jim took the time to take Harrison out for a turkey and he videoed it for us. What a treasure for us. I will always remember him as my #4 son. I miss him and hope and pray you will have the strength to carry on for your family. I am just down the road anytime you need to get away. Then I will tell you all thefun things we did. My deepest sympathy to all . Tears will come when you least expect it years down the road. I know. LOVE Ya' Butch

Lori and kids,
I am very said to hear of this tragic loss. I grew up with Jeff (Rocky). We went to school from kindergarten through the start of High School together. We spent many winters and summers playing hockey on ice and in the street, fishing, golfing at the end of Walnut street, many, many memories.
We grew up around the corner from each other and as kids shared a lot of those wonderful experiences that you just never forget. We spent a lot of our youth together and some of my fondest childhood memories are of the times that we spent hanging out together.
I moved away in High School. We would have been playing hockey for Lockport together. The last time I talked to Jeff was when I was passing through Lockport on business. Jeff and I had a long conversation but were unable to get together. He told me that he had the most amazing family. A wife and children and that he loved very much. You and the kids were his life. His brothers Rich and Steve who he was very proud of.
Jeff also told me that he had found the Lord and that it had changed him.
Lori, In this horrible time of loss and grief please accept my deepest sympathy for you and your family.
Jeff was a dear friend and I will miss him.
God Bless
November 12, 2007
Dear Lori,
Although there are no words to ease your pain, I'm hoping friendship will help. I was sadden to hear of your husbands passing. From our conversations at work, I knew that Jeff was your everything. My heart is just broken for you and your family. Please stay the strong woman I know you are Lori.
May God Bless your family and may Jeff "REST IN PEACE".
In Love and Friendship,

Lori, Joe and Family, Words could never express our deep sorrow for the loss of such a wonderful husband & father.
Jeff wore this mischievous smirk that let you know he may or may not be up to something. He had such an infectious smile & twinkle in his eyes that you could never feel anything but a pure sense of joy in his presence.
Jeff was such a devoted husband & loved his family so much - it is rare to find such a genuinely nice person.
We will always remember the care he put into making his lawn & landscaping the most lush & beautiful around. You could lie down on that grass like thick carpeting, as soft & plush, possibly imported from far away lands, as there was none like it anywhere we've seen. You didn't want to pull any grass out for fear of a silent alarm going off, causing Jeff to spend the next few hours fixing the area you had damaged, transplanting the marred grass & replacing it from his possible secret stash cultivated in a hidden spot somewhere below ground (this is just speculation of course, but who has grass that nice from sun and water??) :o)
He was well regarded as a neighbor & friend, known to be able to do anything at all at any time, always willing to help someone in need of assistance.
When Jeff was spoken of by neighbors it was always with complete admiration. His passing is just such a tremendous loss for all who were lucky enough to have crossed paths with him, and for those who never got to meet such a wonderful person as well.
We will miss Jeff but we know he left behind a loving family who will carry on his legacy, each of them making the world a better place because of their presence here.
We love you Lori, Joe & Miss O. and we are here when you need us.
Love, the Siverlings

Lori and Family - my deepest sympathy goes out to all of you.
As co-workers and friends at the Somerset Power Plant for the past 23 years, Jeffrey and I had many great times together. In our early days at the plant I worked with and helped train Jeffrey in our chemical department and in the later years Jeffrey worked with and helped train me in the power plant operations group - and we always had a fun time working together - Jeffrey made it fun. Jeffrey was a thorough and hard worker but had a way of making things fun - he had a true gift of humor. In recent times, I spent time working with Jeffrey as he helped the plant with our zebra mussels and with his underwater inspections of our water intake and discharge systems. I felt like I was a special consultant for his work. Whenever he asked for my advice I felt honored and I knew he appreciated whatever advice I could give him.
Jeffrey and Chris Fox were the ones who encouraged me to run for the Local IBEW 966 Executive Board during our recent elections (I didn't win) - I would never had run withour their backing; actually felt priviledged that they supported me. As one of my Union Stewards, Jeffrey and I had many discussions involving Union matters and I will miss him and his advice. Believe me when I say that the entire plant was in a state of shock when we heard the tragic news. The mood in the plant was somber and sorrowfull as we tried to work on Friday and through the weekend, and our thoughts were of you and Jeffrey. Lori - I wish I had magic words to say to you to help confort you during this time but there are none. I just pray that God will provide you and your family with the confort you need.

Lori and Family: We are thinking of you at this time. There are so few people that come around that you can really say you are better off for having known them. Jeff was truly one of those people. What a great guy! So talented and devoted to his family and home. We will miss him and will truly cherish the visit we had with him over this past summer. You are in our prayers.

Jeff was one of the nicest students that I ever taught at Emmet Belknap!
He was so respectful and polite and a privilege to teach.
I will NEVER forget that smile and I thank you for being a part of my life.

Lori, Joe & family.....where do we begin to tell you how much your whole family has touched our families lives? Jeff was a great friend and a super Uncle to our son, even when he snuck into the intensive care unit to see our baby....posing as his real Uncle.
Hunting through the years with Jim, big Harrison and my brother...a true sportsman.
Teaching my son how to spell....hmmm maybe we shouldn't mention that.
A co-worker who always had something good to say even when things were going bad....he always had a fair approach when we didnt think there was one. 23 years is a long time to be friends....we seem like family at our home away from home AES Somerset
Lori if you need anything you know you can call day or night and we will be there for you.
Rest in Peace our Beloved friend...we will never forget you or your family.
Love Always

Our families have known each other over 20 years...our sons grew up together and graduated togther...I couldn't have asked for a better neighbor or friend. Jeff was an amazing man...he could fix anything and everything and was always willing to help....My sons looked up to "Mr Thompson". He was a great husband,father and grandfather...Our hearts go out to Lori,Joe,Nicole and Olivia. Jeff will be missed but never forgotten.

I've worked with Jeff for 23 yrs.,we spent alot of those years on the same crew,and spent hundreds of shifts together,we came up through the ranks together, from power block O.W.'s to Main Control Operators. I remember after pulling our midnight tours,we would go shooting together to blow off steam. he was and always will be admired,and highly respected. most of all... he was my friend, I'll never forget you murf, top shelf people such as yourself are far and few between.

Lori, Joe and family. I can't put into words the sadness I feel for your loss. Jeff was a friend, fellow wreck and cave diver and someone I admired and respected. Most importantly though, he was a loving father, husband and a wonderful person. I will miss his smile and laughter and his enthusiasm for life. I will cherish the time we spent together, especially this last week here in Florida.
May God bless your family and keep you all safe and strong.

Lori: So sad to hear about the tragic loss of your beloved husband, Jeff. I'll always remember when you showed me pictures of the home you two were building and of your beautiful family and how proud you were of all of them. Be guided by his spirit to help you through this difficult time. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

To put into words the memories that I have of working and being around Jeffrey is one of the most difficult things that I believe I have done in some time.
Jeffrey is one of those poeple who once you got to know him you soon learn he had a way of either getting under your skin with his witty humor,or he would look past the problem and figure out how to solve the problem in a way that was meticulous,fair and done with alot of heart.
I had the pleasure of working with Jeffrey on the same shift for many years and in the same department for the last 23 yrs. He became my right hand once I convinced him to stop complaining and get involved , and involved he did. He became one of the best shop stewards and Executive board members for Local 966 IBEW that I have ever had the privilege to have worked with. He was the person who said it like it was and you either liked it or you didn't. We would argue and not agree but allways remained friends afterwards. That is the hardest par, the lose of a friend,and co-worker. There are so many more things that can be said. He will be truly missed.

Words cannot express the deep, deep sorrow we are feeling for all of you. Keep close to your hearts, all of those wonderful memories. We will remember Jeff, with his sense of humor that kept you chuckling--that "little smirk" that he always wore--the strong willed man that would stand up to, or for, anything he was passionate about. And, Jeff, the man who truly loved his family, and only wanted the best for them.
Although his time with us seems too short, he left a big impact on those who knew him.
May God Bless all of you during this very difficult time.

My brothers wit and great sense of humor will always live within me. He was my big brother and I looked up to him to the very end. I loved him and always thought he was an extraodinarily good man. He was a kind and fair person. He was way to young to die at 46! I will really miss him!

I had the distinct pleasure of knowing Jeff, through work at AES. The morning after hearing of the tragedy with Jeff's passing; I thought of how I would describe him. The following came to mind...meticulous, bright, witty, humorous, firm convictions, fair, eager and willing, kind, leader, and honest. About 7 years ago, Jeff walked into one of our computer areas here at the plant, and fired two of our coworkers who happened to be my trainers. Of course Jeff did not have the power to fire anyone, but did anyway (kiddingly). He fired these two guys for not being able to change me (of course with that little smerk of his). That was Jeff's way...letting you know what he thought. About a week and a half ago, I ran into Jeff in the parking lot here at work. It was damp, rainy, windy, and downright bone-chilling. I needed to talk to him about an issue I was having here at work. It wasn't a planned conversation, but Jeff gave of his time, wise advice, and heartfelt honest opinions. As cold as it was, he never tried to cut the conversation short. We were drenched due to the rain, but it didn't matter to Jeff. He was much more than our coworker, he was a friend. I will never forget his words that day.
Hearing about Jeff's accident was like hearing the news on Sept. 11, 2001. It was unthinkable that something like this could happen. His passing leaves all of us with a gaping hole in our hearts, and within our business.
