Jeff Retired after many years of employment with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) as an equipment operator and truck driver. Jeff was a person that one could depend on, especially his family knew that he had their back. One could say Jeff was the most gentle, kind-hearted man that there was. Even though he was taller than most people, he had the kindest smile and most soft-spoken voice and would always take the time to talk to anyone. He could fix just about anything, and one could say he was a “Mr. Fix-it” or a “Master Tinkerer”. He loved to go hunting and especially enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday. He volunteered at The Toy Shop, located on the grounds of Warren State Hospital. There he, and others, made countless toys to be given to underprivileged children. He volunteered at the Sheffield Train Depot and was an active member of the Sheffield United Methodist Church where he served as a trustee as well as on many other committees.

He will be truly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife, children, grandchildren and all his dear friends of the community of Sheffield.
