Jeff brought light to the world of maintenance at IAH he was a good mentor when I started working as a supervisor at IAH. He always had a smile for us when we needed it and he had some great aviation stories. One thing I liked about Jeff was there was never anything to great to handle and he always treated everyone with respect and honor. Thanks for everything Jeff, you will be missed. Kurt Maraffa

I've known Jeff since the first day he started at IAH, and worked with him on the OSV side, you couldn't help love the guy, such a great personality, easy to work with and just down to earth honest. All the Texas Holdem games we played together, and the great times will be sorely missed. "Jeff, I know you're looking down at us from the big Texas Holdem Table in the sky and smiling", we'll all see you in the afterlife, love ya brother!

I recall showing up at Jeff & Diane's door in a U-Haul truck. A small girl answered the door & yelled back into the house "they are here" That was the beginning of our new family. Jeff you will be missed but never forgotten.

God needed another angel so he chose Jeff. Jeff always knew how to have a good time and he also had the gift to make you smile. Jeff touched many people throughout his life and will be missed by many and never forgotten. All those years in aviation will now be used to fix wings of another kind, angel wings. Farewell my friend.
