He is also survived by several nieces and nephews; Adam, Nicole Rose, Charlie, Maggie Rose, Chloe and by other dear relatives and friends.
As an army brat he lived in Panama, Arkansas (3 different times), Texas (4 different times) and in Maryland. He himself later served in the US army from 1969 to 1973 and was assigned in Germany. After serving in the army, he enrolled at the University of Texas where he received a bachelor's degree. Long before the personal computer became the norm, Jeff understood computers. Early on his career he worked for NASA contractors at the Space Center in Houston. Later he moved to San Antonio and for many years owned his own business specializing in computer sales and service to other small businesses and individuals. Ever since he was at UT, Austin held a special place in his heart and so he moved back there about a dozen years ago.
