Jeff and I were friends in grade school and high school. We spent a lot of time in Mr. Dybing’s music classes, mostly so we could get out of PE class! I’ll never forget general music class where we had to re-arrange a piece of music for stage band. I picked something easy but Jeff had to go pick bohemian rhapsody! I was envious of him when I heard he got to play horn in the army. Sad to hear he’s gone.
Dear Peggy and family: I was so sorry to hear of Jeff’s passing. The Army Band was important to all of us and especially Jeff. I personally enjoyed working with him for the many years we were together. I could always depend on him to do a great job and carry out his assignments to a high degree. He will be missed by many and may the Almighty give you strength during this sad time. God Bless You All.
My sincere sympathies to Peggy and Jeffrey’s family!
Sending my sympathies to Peggy and Jeff’s family.
Jeff was my teacher at a military course.
He was professional in every way, helping students grow & graduate. He was known to be a valued member & leader of the military band. God’s comfort to his family.
