Jeff was my roommate at West Point for two of the four years we attended the Academy. Though I have not seen him since graduation, I still have many fond memories of the time we shared there. As the last verse of our Alba Mata says " and when our course on earth is run, may it be said 'WELL DONE", be thou at peace". JACK MILLER (USMA64)
Through the years I always admired and loved spending time with my uncle Jeff. He had a cool job, and a very special wife, daughter, and granddaughter (Plum,Traci, & Peyton). He had an awesome home on a lot of land surrounded by trees. The first time I ever shoot a gun was in his back yard. Over the years they've always had a variety of terrific dogs. Jeff didn't talk a lot and neither did I, and I think we appreciated that about each other. We could sit outside, drink a beer or two, hang with the dogs, take in the view, and enjoy every minute of it. Jeff loved working, spending time with his family and dogs, shooting, listening to country music, and watching college football. He was everything you, or at least I, could ever ask for in an uncle. Jeff made the world a better place and he will certainly be missed. Love....Steve
I enjoyed chatting with Jeff in the neighborhood and at the dog park. I will always remember his kind demeanor. He was a gentleman and will be missed.
Oh yes Jeff was a gentleman! I enjoyed many conversations with Jeff at our Wednesday morning coffee club, and dinners at Mary Catherine . Rest In Peace my friend. My prayers are with you and your family. Kathy Drescher
