Jeff was a lifetime lumberman and worked in the woods with family including his brother Terry and son Burt until his retirement in 2011. After retirement he devoted his time to canning and providing his family with the most delicious spaghetti sauce, a must at every family function, or hot squash donuts would always bring the kids home.
