Missing you so so much, Jeff. Please continue to watch over me, Madds, Maxie, Nanny, Dad, Mem and Emy. Love you and carry you with me always.
I first met Jeffrey in person when the INTA conference was in San Francisco in 2011. I was immediately struck by the warmth of his personality and his boundless enthusiasm. Since then I always enjoyed working with Jeffrey. Not only was Jeffrey an astute and very hard working attorney, he was always a pleasure to work with and I shall miss him greatly. I remember with particular fondness the dinners we had together at various INTA meetings. Jeffrey always spoke with pride and great love of his family and it was super to hear Jeffrey talk about his children and their progress. There was a joy in Jeffrey and a love of life, family and friends that few possess. I send my sincere condolences to Jeffrey's family, although we have never met, I feel that I have got to know you a little over the years through Jeffrey. Rest in peace, Jeffrey, my friend, I shall remember you and raise a glass to you whenever the INTA conferences come around, Tony Pluckrose
JY, my Visa partner in fighting trademark crimes around the world, you will be dearly missed. Rest In Peace, my friend. DY
Jeff and I went to law school together at Golden Gate University and worked together for a couple of years at Thomas Cook Intellectual Property Attorneys. After we all went our separate ways, I bumped into Jeff at the 2018 International Trademark Association Annual Meeting in Seattle. At the World Trademark Review Industry Awards, Jeff proudly represented Visa as the winner of the Team of the Year in the category of Financial and Professional Services. What a great day.
I'm going to miss our conversations on family, work, friends, etc. May you rest in peace, brother.
