We first met Jeff and Rochelle at UCLA in 1976 and instantly formed an enduring friendship which has lasted for over 40 years. Even though we were separated geographically we always remained connected .Over the years we have heard about life, adventures, work , children growing up , grandchildren...always with great love and affection.Jeff exuded such warmth and great kindness  in whatever he did and said. Meeting up in the Mediterranean  when they were sailing was a treat we really looked forward to each year . Sharing memories, listening to tales of adventures, we were full of admiration for Jeff’s enterprise and determination to pursue his dream. He will leave such a big hole in everybodys’ lives and will be so sorely missed.
