I only knew Jeff a few years and can hardly say that I him. In that short time, 5 years or so, itbecame evident that he was a true advocate for the hobby and truly loved mentoring youngnumismatists.

Jeff was a new member of the board for the Indiana State Numismatic Association, serving as a districtGovernor for the northern part of the state. It is an area that we have always struggled to cover, and wewere looking forward to him bringing his energy to the position. His last email to the board was anupdate on the Calumet and Goodfellow clubs in northwest Indiana. His report was more thorough thanwe are used to seeing but it was not surprising coming from Jeff. Below are some pictures that heshared.

If you have ever received an email from Jeff, then you know that he was proud of the clubs that he was apart of. I don't know where he found the energy to support all his associations in addition to being awell-respected dealer as well.
