This is sad news. I met Jeff at MOK 2002 and we corresponded occasionally
after that. I heard about his three year cancer battle just two months ago,
after a reference to declining health on an AH post.
Jeff built two of the MOTM format Diode Waveform Shaper modules from the
same Stooge panels as mine, still a greatly under-recognized module in my
opinion. Over the years it seemed like Jeff was among the first DIYer to
build every unusual module out there, and even help design a few like the
Dim C and the CGS Weighted Random Switch.
Jeff's enthusiasm and presence will be missed.
