Lori, Scott, and Ruthann,
This is a little late, as I just found out yesterday of Jeff's passing. I was shocked and saddened. My heart goes out to the entire family. I was a neighbor to the family for 18 years and have many fond memories of Jeff. He was such a nice outgoing person, who loved to have fun. My fondest memories are playing baseball, and spud, going to the Catty pool, and watching TV in their basement. The best is when we would play football in the back yard and hit the transformer....boy did we get his father mad because he worked for PPL. Those were the good old days. The last time I seen Jeff was at my moms funeral and he was still "the same Jeff". I know he will be missed by everyone. May the family find comfort knowing he is with GOD now and no longer in pain. My prayers are with you all.

My deepest condolences to your family on the loss of Jeff. Since I work in another state, I only met Jeff once in person when visiting his department at Olympus in Center Valley. I clearly remember chatting with him that day. He made a good impression upon me. He was kind, witty, and made me laugh! Sounds like that was his way. I remember him fondly and I was very sad to hear of his illness and passing at such a young age. I am so very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with your family.

Deepest sympathies to family and friends. It is hard to express and say goodbye to such a kind soul. Through one's life, we encounter a variety of people, and when you meet those few genuinely honest, decent and fun people, they are forever remembered. I feel fortunate to have met a few. Time never erases those lives and memories. For me, Jeff was one and he will be greatly missed ... but remembered.

To the Scherer Family,

My sincerest condolences to you on the passing of your husband and father. I have enjoyed working and speaking with him the past 6 years at Olympus. We had a running joke as to what errands we were doing after work. Ever since I joined Olympus, I'd run into him every week at Weis or some other surrounding local store since we lived just a mile apart. God Bless his soul. I will miss our many conversations.
