I have many fond memories of Jeff - a big teddy bear of a guy with a nice spirit about him and a good sense of humor. One vivid memory of Jeff that has stayed with me over the years is seeing him sitting behind the wheel of his MGB sports car with his eyes looking out over the top of the windshield of a car made for people half his size. Best wishes for Jeff and his family.
Hi John, minor correction - Jeff was one of the first in SLC to own an Austin Healey "Frogeye" Sprite, even smaller than an MG. I was amazed that he could fit inside it but he drove it everywhere. As you say, a wonderful personality and sense of humour. I remember him very fondly.

Thanks for the correction. I should have remembered Jeff's car was a Sprite.
I will never forget that image of the huge guy in such a tiny car. Although I still remember Bill Lloyd and his wrecked Isetta.
I'm glad we share these memories. Thanks for your note.
