A long time ago, Cole and my son Rich were on a basketball team together. Jeff was always great to talk with, and in later years, whenever I bumped into him on campus, he was always a class act, and we always had a pleasant, but all too brief conversation. Rest in Peace, Jeff.

I am deeply sadden by the passing of my friend Jeff. My heart goes out to Kitty and her family. I'm sure I speak for everyone who worked at Freehafer Hall, while it was still standing, that Jeff made our day just by coming into the building and waiting for that one joke that would keep us laughing all day. He will be missed.
