We were sad to hear of Jeff's passing away.
I will always remember that he loved to tell jokes and spend a lot of time reminiscing with other birders about previous birds he saw and previous good birding trips he was on. I think he loved talking to other birders as much as he loved birdwatching.
I had saved an email he sent me several years ago when I mentioned to him his tidy bowl joke, and he said, "I tell the tidy bowl joke at least twice a year."
We will miss him,
Richard & Mary Biss
