Yes, Jeff will be missed in many ways. I think the hospice care Nancy set up for him was wonderful. I intended to call her not long ago but she was off to the airport meeting his son. Jeff picked up the phone and we had a wonderful, wide ranging cheerful conversation. He was a talented and generous friend to so many. 
He sounded comfortable surrounded by love those last days.... He was really enjoying those twice weekly massages and chuckling over leaving his grandson a "musical instrument" with percussion, bells and whistles sounded like it would wreak pure havoc and funny as all get out.
