Yes. He was only 38.

WTF? So sad. RIP Jeff :sadgoodbye:

Man I'm sorry for your guys loss. I never knew him.

Hopefully stories will be told which will help me know him a bit.

[KD8TUT]

Damn.. I did know him through another avenue.

That's so sad...

[KC2UGV]

Damn... This is indeed a huge loss for us. I never even knew he had health issues going on. 38 is far to young.

[WØTKX]

I knew about his health problems.
It was ongoing since he took the reins here.

As it got worse, he got very private about it.

I got to hang out with him a few times.

Really liked him. Smart, weird in good ways, yea.

Sigh.

[N2CHX]

Shit. We didn't always see eye to eye, but I know he was a good guy and this is truly sad. Rest in peace, Jeff.

R.I.P. Jeff, thanks for all you did for us here.

I think he found me quite irritating but he let me stay anyway.
