Diane and family, I’m so sorry to hear of Jeff’s passing. He was a wonderful and devoted father, husband and grandfather. He was an incredible mentor to me and was influential in shaping my career. He was always a favorite of mine in the Tuesday night golf league! There was never a dull moment on the course with him. He will be sorely missed by many.
