It was a rare sighting indeed if he was found to be wearing anything but one of those jerseys! He loved his dogsNugent, Hawkeye, and Angusand was a walking encyclopedia and excelled at all things trivia when it came to sports- or classic rock-related topics. Jeff loved looking out from his home on River Park Drive and was very proud of his hometown Guttenberg. But more than anything he enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Jeff did not shy away from opportunities to join local bands on stage to lend his vocal talent to the show. He enjoyed long conversations with friends old and new and quick mid-game textsoften enthusiastic about, but also lamenting, his teams performance.
