Sharing with us the most non discriminating, non judgemental mind I’ve encountered. Working as a Chimney Sweep in the rain in wintertime Seattle and teaching stage combat at the U of Washington at the same time, and never complaining about it. Acts of kindness towards the disabled, the downtrodden about which he’d be embarassed for you to know. Giving you his last beer. And going out and paying for more beer. For you. Always there for his mom. Always. In the 37 years I worked for Jeff, no matter how zany offstage, never losing character onstage. (Believe me, I tried on more than one occasion). You could not make this guy crack. Consummate pro. Truly Zen. Enormous talent for living in the present. There are beautiful waters, but vast ocean contains sharks and riptides as well…Jeff just swam. He knew how to swim fearlessly, like a child, without worrying about the danger that might lurk beneath..Remember this, take solace from it, and let it be an example of how to live out the rest of our days to the cut-off point.
Written by Jeff’s good friend Bill and posted on Facebook. Reading these words brings comfort to me and I’m sure to others as well.
