Jeff was one of my supervisors when I worked for C&G Electric and I worked with him a little while after he started his own business in the late 90's. He was a humorous, crusty, ole coot who taught me a lot and was very good to me. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. He was definitely one of a kind. RIP Jeff!

Jeff and I attended TSTI together in Waco studying Electronics Technology. We spent a good amount of time together studying and hanging out. Good friend of mine while we were there but unfortunately lost contact after leaving Waco. Heartfelt condolences to his family and friends...good man who I regret not staying in contact with.

Jeff was part of our Habitat for Humanity of Denton County family. He worked with us and for us. I will surely miss his smile and sense of humor.
