Jeff was an avid Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan. Enjoying season tickets while living in Tampa. So, when they won the Superbowl this year, you can imagine his excitement! He also enjoyed the Boston Red Sox and many visits with his children and friends to Fenway to watch them play. His greatest joy was spending time with his family. He was the happiest when they were happy. You could always depend on Jeff to find the estate sale and be in line at dawn. He loved to collect license plates and give the perfect plate to those he loved. Jeff will be remembered for his ability to find the unique piece he had to have or a piece he found for someone else. Jeff coached Highgate Little League for many years and never missed a soccer game. He loved to travel and serve as a guide on all of his family trips. He and his wife were foster parents for many years, believing he could always be a positive influence in all aspects of life.
As a family we would like to extend our gratitude to our hospice nurse and the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) drivers who showed up at any time; rain, sleet, or sunshine to help make the many trips to White River Junction and Boston. Jeff was a proud veteran and, in his honor, if you see a veteran, please pay it forward.

Visitation on Monday, March 22, 2021, from 3:00 to 5:00 PM at The Goss Life Celebration Home, 89 Grand Ave., Swanton, VT with Navy honors to conclude.
