Condolence from John ‘n Sharon MacDonald on December 10th, 2022 6:24 PM

Heartbroken to hear of Jeff’s sudden passing. Jeff was very intuitive & had an ability to think outside of the box when it came to work & people.
Jeff was a long-time friend. We will miss his smiling face, great personality & wit. Many memories over the years including his involvement with Boy Scouts, the Lions Club, early development of jack posts & working in his shop on different projects on the Roman Line come back to me.
Jeff, may you rest in peace. Prayers to Liz and family.

Condolence from Brittany Drager on December 12th, 2022 8:27 AM

Liz and family –
Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this time of sorrow.

After They Are Gone

When someone we love passes away,
We ache, but we go on;
Our dear departed would want us to heal,
After they are gone.

Grief is a normal way to mend
The anguish and pain in our hearts;
We need time to remember and time to mourn,
Before the recovery starts.

Let’s draw together to recuperate,
As we go through this period of sorrow;
Let’s help each other, with tender care
To find a brighter tomorrow.

By Joanna Fuchs

Condolence from Erik Barr on December 14th, 2022 7:02 AM

I have so many memories of Jeff mostly starting off in Scouting with him as one of my leaders. One was portaging a lot of cooking oil and potatoes into Temagami Park on a Scouting trip. We caught a lot of fish, probably not quite legally, and ate fish and chips through the the trip. He always found time to help fix things or help out. One time I had butchered a road kill deer and needed a place to put the carcass. Jeff told me to bring it out and bury it out past the barn which I did. Unfortunately I guess I didn’t bury it deep enough and his big dog dug it up and ate and rolled in it and needless to say Jeff wasn’t impressed!
I still use a set of wrenches and sockets he and Liz gave Dar and I for a wedding gift all the time.
Liz, Jeff, Jerry and Cathy your in my thoughts these difficult days.
Jeff you will be missed.

A lot of strenght to you all, because you will miss this nice, sweet, warm man.

Liz and family, we are truly saddened to hear of Jeff’s tragic passing, we met Jeff over 40 years ago and became immediate friends, Jeff was funny, always smiling, tough on the exterior but had a heart of gold. In more recent history Jeff was more than happy to give me a detailed tour of the new shop he was so proud of and while talking about family and business. If you had Jeff in your life you were richer for it.

Our sincere condolences, he will be missed, Tom & Lynn.
