My dad was such an amazing person. He was smart, insanely funny, compassionate towards others and passionate and put forth maximum effort in every facet of his life. His work, his many hobbies, his family, being there for Max's sports. My favorite memories of my Dad are getting milkshakes, most of the time they'd be a secret from my mom but if I was happy, sad, mad, grounded, anything, any time could randomly be milkshake time. This loss has been horrible to work through but may my dad's memory live on.

I am just finding out this morning of what happened a few months ago. I am deeply saddened to hear this news. I worked for Jeff for many years at GM, and after leaving he and I stayed in touch from time to time. At this point I hope his wife and family are learning to deal with this loss. Jeff was a great boss, but I always thought he was a better man. He loved his wife and family, friends and coworkers. Jeff was a fair and loving and helpful man. Mrs. Menig please call me at 252-414-061 as I would like to talk to you.

I had the good fortune of working with Jeff at GM and on the National Electric Code (NEC). When I was new on the NEC, Jeff always took the time to explain the process and technical issues his kindness made my transition easy. He often discussed his many interests, but talked most fondly of past and future family vacations. To Jeffs family, my sincere condolences for your loss. Jeff will be missed.
