Sending prayers out for the Mudock family. I remember him as kind, pleasant, and sincere. We shared a love of music listening to the new dicoveries that are now the classics of rock that endure today. My heavy heart goes out to the Mudock family. I know that Jeff is at peace and leaves a legacy that endures in many hearts. My condolences to you all. Peace!

Jeff's contributions to our theatre community are great indeed. I cannot imagine CPCC without his encouraging and supportive presence at the sound board, but his kindness extended beyond the theatre. I will never forget how he helped patch a leak in our roof and refused to accept payment. My husband Biff and I will always be grateful for his generosity and thoughtfulness and we are praying for peace and comfort for his family.

Jeff made us all sound good. He brought us out and kept us balanced. His gentle presence will be missed in the orchestra pit.

Jeff would give you the shirt off his back... A generous spirit. He gave so much of himself with the Charlotte Philharmonic. He was also an excellent bass guitarist. Memories of the Streets at the Milestone back in the time of The Happy Eggs, young REM, go-gos...
i also remember his satisfaction when Todd Runtgren expressed his pleasure in Jeff's production of a Runtgren CD.

More than being an honest, generous, dependable and hard working man, Jeff had the knack of being a close friend with many, many people. If only we could all allow ourselves to mean so much to so many, as Jeff did, the world would be a better place.
