Jeff enjoyed reading and studying the Bible, and teaching about the eternal truths found in the Word of God. He taught primarily through Jesus's parables and proverbs. Jeff was not interested in the mundane details of everyday life, but in the design of the universe and the mind of its Master Builder. He was an ambassador for Christ and a witness for the kingdom of God.

Jeff most recently attended Family Life Church, but had formerly attended St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Waukegan, Illinois. He was a resident of Glen Lake Terrace Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for six years, but was able to return to his own home three years ago.
