Blessings to his family and friends left here to mourn - Jeff answered several of my 'stOOpid' newbie question, he'll be missed but his work will live on forever as examples of 'almost' perfection.

I am so sorry to hear of Jeff's passing. Such a talented gem cutter. I purchased some lovely stones from him over the years and he was always friendly. This is a real loss for the gem community.

I had a business relationship with Jeff and he was always fair and honest.
He had a very good appreciation for quality rough and did a tremendous amount to further the publics appreciation of custom cutting . As has been mentioned his cutting and designs were second to none and he shared a wealth of personal knowledge about faceting and the gem business for free. He will be remembered as one of the top faceter/designers in the trade.
He was certainly a character and will be sorely missed !
Condolences to the family.
RIP Jeff

Very Very sad news . Just saw him in Tucson and cannot believe it. To the friends and relatives reading these post Jeff always was helpful to me from my days living in Tucson and afterword. Sometimes I sent a post to Jeff with a very special rough and would get very generous cut consult with new designs. Jeffs contributions to the faceting world will be long remembered and used. Tested and practical easy to understand faceting designs. We miss you Jeff!
