My deepest sympathies on Jeff’s passing. From my earliest days working with him at Aerotech, he embodied what it meant to be a a dedicated, hardworking guy. I know his passing is a devastating loss to those he leaves behind, but take some comfort that he is reunited with Brian and other loved ones.
Prayers for you,
Steve eggemeyer
