Jeff was meticulous in his work. His smile and sense of humor was contagious. He knew no strangers. Jeff loved to cook and shared his talent with his family and friends. He was an avid KU and Kansas City Royals fan.

Beloved grandchildren Aiden Pearson, Sophia Jacobs, Emma Atwell and Addison Atwell, Mother Barbara Tanuis.
