This is very sad and surprising news.

I am honoured to have served with Jeff briefly in the early/mid nineties. He was a great guy.

Jeff’s sense of humor and laughter made some very uncomfortable situations much more tolerable. The cold, wet, fatigue and aches and pains all faded when having a laugh.

In particular I remember we managed to get into and out of some scrapes in England while on weekend pass from exercise “Maple Exchange” back in the fall of ’93. I am glad he was around and am glad to have known him if only for a short time.

My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

Rest in Peace.

Jeff was a great man and my Army Brother. It's sad to see the Judge go down. See him on the other side. Remember they serve warm beer in Hell. Miss you Jeff
