Jeff graduated in 1983 from Corning East High School and went on to earn an associate’s degree in technology from Corning Community College. He started his own commercial two-way radio sales and service business, Wavelength Communications, which allowed him to work and be a stay at home dad. Jeff always had the answers to everyone’s mechanical and/or electronics problems and was more than happy to help others. He was an amateur radio operator, earning his HAM radio advanced license, and was also a lifelong sailor. Jeff was an active member of the Tuscarora Yacht Club since 1997. During his time with the club, he served on the board and was appointed commodore in 2018. His biggest joy in life was spending time with his family and his friends. He will be fondly remembered as a loving father, husband, and friend to many.
