I just called Comfort Engineers to ask some questions and when I asked them to say hello to Jeff for me I found out about his death. Deb and I are so upset. We had a relationship that was formed by our meeting through his work. Over the years that he came to our home we formed a friendship. As sad as we always were to need service, we looked forward to seeing Jeff when he showed up at the door. We also knew that what ever he told us was the truth. He was a man of great integrity. He also saw humor in many things. We would laugh and talk about all kinds of things as he worked on our systems. Jeff spoke so highly about his family. Family was very important to him. He also spoke very highly about his place of employment. I can remember him saying that he would be there for a long time because they knew what it was about, taking care of people. Jeff will be dearly missed. Deb and I are so sorry he is gone. If there is ever anything we can do for you it would be a pleasure to help the loved ones of someone like Jeff. Call on us if you ever need our help.

We wish there was a way to express how big a hole Jeff leaves in our hearts and our community. He was a kind and loving man with an enormous amount of integrity. For so many years he talked always of his family: his children and his dogs and his devotion was obvious. We will miss his visits and guidance and mostly his smiling face! Our hearts are broken.

I remember the last time Ed and I had the opportunity to see you all at Wendy's surprise birthday party. Jeff was full of joy relating to me how he was a man in love with his wife and family. The sincerity and emotion of these statements struck me. It was on that date he gave me wonderful advice and inspired hope in me, at a time when I desparetly needed it. His advice was genuine and helped me move onto a happier place in my life. I hope you and your family can reflect on the happier times you all spent together as a family and with friends who loved you all. As you all get through the difficult months ahead, know your extended circle of friends are thinking of you and will be there for you. Suzie

I am heart broken for your family. Jeff was at my house on Monday on behalf of Comfort Engineers. He was their best service man. Know that he will be missed by all his customers and Comfort Engr. will have a very hard time replacing him. My heart weeps for you.
