Jeff taught me a lot about scripting. The first iteration of Cuphead was made possible by him. I dissected his Jungle and Bronco scripts, and he coached me on some of scoring things I wanted to do. Always patient and generous with his time and knowledge.

This is very sad news indeed. The first table I ever downloaded was his, which got me hooked enough to build my own cabinet. I didn't know him personally, but he responded to a comment I made a couple month ago on another forum. It spoke to his character when he responds to just another random member of the community like me. The world is little bit emptier.

I didn't knew him personally, i only have some tables of him.

It's great to see with what he was working on, preserving the tables by making them virtual.

Playing and having fun. Thank you for that Jeff

A Big loss for the pinball community and he will be missed.

My condolence goesto his Family and friends.

Have worked with Jeff on many projects over the years.  Most of the time it was me approaching him for help and he was always more than willing to drop what he had and help out.  I was shocked when i saw this today because i just got done writing him a message about a new table that i wanted to work on with him.  So sad, even with all the sadness we feel inside we must remember his family who is truly hurting.  I appreciate all of the knowledge and experiences that i got from him.

 

With all the animosity and bad blood that is in this hobby, I cant think one time where i ever hear him say anything bad about anyone.  He was an inspiration to all of us and if you like pre-76 pinball, he was a God!

I just saw this, and I am greatly saddened. What a huge loss for the community.

I fed him artwork for a couple tables and he was a joy to work with.

 

He will be missed. :bye2:

Very sad day!

 

Huge loss to the vp community!

 

My very first table mod was one of his EM tables and he was always gracious with info and expertise, especially with EM tables and backglass.

 

I always enjoyed / looked forward to collaborating with him - like we did on a couple tables over the years, because he was meticulous but also very generous with his time and skill - and I always went away learning something new from him.

 

Many of us would NEVER have had a chance to play 99.9% of older EM tables if it wasn't for Jeff and the hundreds he has contributed to the community.

 

You will be missed, sir.

 

My deepest condolences to his family.
