Jeff passed Sunday night, Jan. 20th, peacefully enveloped in my arms. He was surrounded by love and like the rock
that he was he fought with everything he had to stay. He loved life and
breathed deep every minute he had. The world has a lot less laughter, beauty
and heart in it today with him not here.
Thank you for all your kind
words, gifts of peace and healing, and compliments of what a wonderful man he was. He will be missed
something fierce.
Jeff was known for his kind and gentle spirit, uncompromising
work ethic, tall good looks, humor and always happy nature. He was a man who touched the hearts and minds
of all those who had the pleasure of knowing him personally and in business. He was tirelessly selfless and compassionate
to all. He loved his wife like none
other and many referred to them as Mr. & Mrs. America, and he was a loving
and dedicated father. He loved life, the
great outdoors and was an avid hunter and collector. Fearless and loving he made the most of every
moment and challenged each of us to do the same in his quiet and non-judgmental
way. In his later years he took up
making custom hunting knives and usually had more orders than he could
fill. His beautiful spirit will be
missed by all that loved him. This world
will have a lot less laughter, beauty and heart in it today with him not here. Our hearts and especially mine will ache until we meet him again.
