I met Jeff several years ago. I of course met him on OB first, then met him in person. He sent some business my way and I sent some to him. I decided a few years ago to sponsor his tailgate. It would be at that tailgate that I'd get some one-on-one time with him. He would talk about his health issues but only in general terms. And always seemed more focus or concerned about his family than himself.
I admired him for that trait, his loyalty to friends, and tendency to call me out of the blue sometimes when I really needed to hear from a friend.
"Generous" is a good word to describe him, but that generosity came from having a huge cow heart that so seldom said "no." While I mourn his loss, our world is a little darker today because he's not here.
