In addition, Jeff was an admired brother-in-law to Michael Miscio and Patricia (Grant) Lehman of Hamilton. He had many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins and friends, all whom were special to him.

He approached his life and subsequently his illness with remarkable strength, optimism humour and determination. He was an inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing him.
