Jeff was a terrific guy! We shared many a Civil War re-enactments, Droop Mountain, Rich Mountain, Cedar Creek, and so many more. One memory of Jeff comes from Cedar Creek. Our joint company, the 91st OVI and the 1st WV, was all aligned ready to fire. He served as the company’s Lieutenant that day. As Captain, I gave all the commands to prepare the company to fire and then went down a casualty. He was taken totally by surprise, as I planned. He didn’t realize what I’d done until some of the guys started complaining their rifles were getting heavy at the fire position. A great pard to have in camp and on the field!
