Rest in peace, cousin Jeff. You left us too soon. Sympathy is extended to family and friends.
I’m gonna miss Jeff. I worked with him for the last few years and he taught me a lot, not just about forklifts and other pieces of equipment but about life in general. He always took time to listen to my weird questions and treated me very kindly. He was a good man and I am so sorry for your loss Kati and the McCelland family.
Jeff was one of my very best friends all through High School and for a few years after. Although we didn’t see each other much over the last 20 years we still had some great memories. Fly high my Brother.
So sad! I think we all had this small glimmer of hope he would pull thru this. He was a great guy and Great Technician and will be greatly missed. My condolences to Kati and the McClelland Family
So sorry to hear about Jeff. A brilliant electrical mechanic. He was always ready to break up the work day with a hunting story; a discussion about gardening or a chat about a pickle recipe. Much less share said pickle, jerky or bite of venison. He’ll be missed.
