My condolences to Jeffrey's family. I first met Jeff when he interviewed me for a position at Grange Insurance Association. I knew from the onset he was going to be a great boss, and he sure was. He was always there to listen and to provide coaching and support. He was kind and caring. He never missed an opportunity to let us know how proud he was of his son and his wife. He was a beautiful human being. He will be missed.

I raise a glass to Jeff and launch a prayer to Debbie and Travis. I think what I never realized was that Jeff was great at caring for people. He sometimes spared words, he was often a master observer. I always knew he genuinely cared for me, and likewise. When at the office, as I was asking about his Debbie and Travis, he was asking about my Jason. I wish the world to his family and friends, most of all his wife and son.

Jeff and I started at GAB Business Services/ Tacoma in 1980. We shared a common interest in golf and fishing. I think his true passion was golf course design as I would find him sketching out golf holes complete with bunkers, water hazards and the slope of the green in his spare time. He had a massive score card collection from courses around the world.
We golfed the TCAA SCAA and PSAA events for nearly 40 years and our group rotation consisted of myself, Thieme, Schroeder, Fankhauser, Omli, Fanin and Lenke. We brought home lots of hardware and always had a great time.
Jeff was a dedicated family man to Travis and Debbie, a true friend and mentor...He is missed.

Jeff and I worked at Grange for several years. I found Jeff to be competent, friendly and a pleasure to be around. Jeff's experience and knowledge will be missed. Jeff is an excellent example of a very nice, personable, and family oriented man who will be missed by many. RIP my friend.

Jeff was such an amazing soul. I loved having him not just as a boss but a person whom you can talk about anything with. He will be missed. 💔. So, sorry for the light this world lost. Hugs and prayers to all who knew him.
