Here it is, 2021, and I just heard of Jeff's death. We worked together at LTI many years back. I've thought of him often since then, that deadly sense of humor and that huge heart. I kept the comic panels he shared with me because they still make me laugh. I feel sad that he's not walking the earth any more, but maybe his "See you later, Little Grasshopper" will turn out to be the truth.

Jeff will be greatly missed. He was the living embodiment of sacrificial giving. He gave willingly of himself, his time, his love, his treasure.

We worked together at Custom Alloy and at LTI for many years, relying on one another for help with difficult technical matters, as well as personal situations.

Jeff will not be forgotten.

I worked with Jeff for a couple of years at LTI. He was good worker and always alot of fun. I was born on February 29th (leap-year). Jeff always got a kick out of that - he sent me a box once and when I opened it (3) helium balloons floated out. It was so pretty, I'll never forget it. Even last year he still remembered. Even though we had not worked together for so many years, he did audit us for Custom Alloy - so I did get to see him every once in awhile and he brought me a card and a present. I will miss his thoughtfulness and stories of his cat.

Jeff was the best neighbor a person could have. We spent many an evening chatting over the fence, figuring out the problems of the world. I will forever be grateful for Jeff's friendship, and for his kindness in sharing his pop, Charlie Rush with me; for all the gardening help, and for catching my cats when they snuck under the fence. Jeff was a good man, a great neighbor, and will live forever in my heart.

I am sorry for the loss of Jeff, he was a very caring man and I am glad I got to meet him through his ex-wife Laura who still thought the world of him even though they were no longer married. They remained friends till the end.
