Just seeing this now. Jeff was my Intermediate ASL instructor. And OMG was he tough! he had no patience for arrogant hearing people. It was his expertise that propelled me forward 0into over 40 years of the world of ASL. Thank you, Jeff!

Just saw this post and was heartbroken. I had Jeff as an instructor at El Camino. Loved his wife Sheila. And my very first ASL instructor Kym [Allred]. We had a great time. Sending sincerest condolences.

I remember Jeff, and Shiela, from my days of taking sign language classes at El Camino back in '88-'89. Such a great, positive couple. Jeff always had some funny stories to share with the class. My condolences go out to his family.
