So sorry to hear of Jeff's passing. My favorite memory of Jeff was when he would sing and play at Western Koshkonong. One Easter he sang "Were You There" so beautifully. I had to learn it myself. I sing it to my grandson almost daily and he requests it all the time. Jeff shared his gift of music with others and gave glory to the Lord through it. We send our sympathy to Jeff's family and loved ones.

My condolences and prayers to Jeff's family for their loss. I had the privilege of playing music with Jeff at Western Koshkonong Lutheran Church, in Pleasant Springs Township, for several Easter, Christmas, and Reformation services. Jeff would accompany me on the pipe organ with his trombone for numerous rousing hymns and musical pieces. His musical involvement greatly enhanced the worship services. I will really miss his musical contributions. A Mighty Fortress Is Our God! / Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott! Darek Hartwig
