His unparalleled skill in design and dedication contributed vastly to the company's success and growth.  He held the position as head of engineering and design until the time of his illness.

Jeff was a loyal, devoted family man and friend, he approached life's challenges always with a good sense of witty humor.  During the past couple of years he was able to enjoy being semi-retired. Spending hrs. riding his Honda Goldwing, flying RC airplanes, connecting with great lifelong friends, ice fishing, taking adventure travel trips or just a simple hours drive on the surrounding country roads. Jeff loved nature, being outdoors, often hiking at State parks. He had a profound love of music just being home turning a vinyl album with a cold beer brought about many hrs. of contentment.
