He worked in plants in De Pere, WI., Miami, Florida and then he heard the words, “Go West Young Man” and worked the rest of his career for the City of San Jose, California.

There he bought his house in an active 55 and older community. He loved being close to the attractions of Las Vegas and all it had to offer. Jeff was a friendly guy who loved to visit with anyone interested in conversing.

He enjoyed travel, which included a 30-day cruise to countries he had never explored. He was an avid San Francisco 49ers Fan and loved watching their games on the huge screens at the casinos.
