Jeff always had a kind word and a warm smile to offer when we ran into each other; the last time we saw him, he was eating with his family at the Crab Cake Factory in Fenwick a few months back. We are deeply saddened. Prayers to you and your family during this most difficult time.

Good Afternoon,

I had the pleasure of getting to know Jeff through work with Baltimore County.  We would meet on our job site every so often and Jeff always had such a positive, friendly disposition.  An affable gentleman and friend.  You will be missed, Mr. Kuessner.

Sincerely,

C.J. Ilardo

Sending our heartfelt condolences and prayers for comfort to Diane, Ashley and Sam, Josh, Mrs. Kuessner and all of Jeff's family.  Jeff was a cherished neighbor and friend.  We always felt blessed to have the premier spot on our court because we lived right next door to "Mr. Jeff."  Jeff's kindness, humor, and cheerful spirit enriched our lives. Any encounter with Jeff made the day brighter and usually ended with laughter.  In addition to the deep love and devotion to his own family, Jeff cared about all the families on our court.  He always made the time to connect with anyone passing by his house, showing a genuine interest in their daily lives.  The neighborhood kids especially loved to gather at the end of his driveway to shoot some basketballs or to simply tell  him all about their day.  With remarkable ease and warmth, Jeff gave the gift of presence to everyone around him. He will be deeply missed by so many.

Diane and Family,  
 
Jeff and I were inseparable for years.  I was one of his best men and he was mine.  Over time, we parted ways but Jeff always had a special place in my life.  It feels like I lost a brother and my heart is broken.  I know Jeff is in heaven and we will all be together again.  I pray for peace for all of you.

Dear Diane and Family,

I was deeply saddened to hear of Jeff’s sudden passing. My heart aches for you and your family during this difficult time.

I had the privilege of working alongside Jeff for several years at Gipe Associates, where we collaborated on designing electrical systems. I will always remember his cheerful nature and infectious good humor that brightened every room. Jeff had a special way of making everyone around him feel at ease, and his presence was truly a gift. Though I haven’t seen him in some time, the fond memories of his warmth and kindness remain vivid in my heart.

Please know that you are in my prayers, and I ask God to wrap you in His comfort and peace during this season of loss. May you find strength in His love and the support of those around you. Jeff’s light will live on in the memories of all who knew him, and he will be deeply missed.

With heartfelt condolences and prayers,
Jim Wright

Our sincere condolences go out to Diane, Ashley, Josh, Mrs. Kuessner and all Jeff's family and friends.  I had the great pleasure of working with Jeff back in the late 80's and early 90's at Spears/Votta & Associates and he and I became pretty good buddies.  Hadn't seen him in a few years but we kept in touch, and we texted one another on our birthdays back in June and commented that we needed to get together soon.  He will be missed.  Rest in Peace, Jeff.

Dearest Diana,
I was heartbroken to hear about your husband’s passing. I can only imagine the shock and pain you and your family must be feeling. Please accept my deepest condolences.
You’ve always been such a kind, thoughtful presence—someone whose warmth is felt instantly by everyone around you. I pray that same warmth now surrounds you in the form of love, support, and comfort from those closest to you.
I’m holding you in my thoughts and sending strength to you and your family during this incredibly difficult time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything I can do.

Dear Diane and Ashley 

I was so sad to hear of Jeff’s passing. May God be with you and your family during this difficult time. I am keeping your family in my prayers.

Fondly
Louise Colianni
