He worked 36 years in the food manufacturing industry for General Mills, Multifoods, J.M. Smucker Company and Hometown Food Company in various roles throughout his career.

He served as Church Council president for two terms, and was an active member of the Property, Finance, Foundation and Youth Ministry Committees. He was an avid fan of The Ohio State Buckeyes and loved to spend his spare time with his wife, daughters, family and friends. Jeff loved the simple things in life; he enjoyed spending time with others over any worldly gifts.

He touched the lives of many with his unconditional love, kindness, charm, humor and wisdom. He will be forever missed.
