Our deepest sympathies to you and your family. You have been the cornerstone of the family for many years following the passing of your mom. Jeff was a very good friend and mentor to many of us in our troop when we were all so young and inexperienced. He will be missed and remembered always.

Jeff's family
Jeff was a first-generation SERT member with outstanding abilities and a keen sense of humor. Most memorable for me was that Jeff could move in five directions simultaneously while maintaining an intelligent conversation with those around him. That is precisely what he did throughout the meat grinder, during SERT selection. I was impressed. His eyes betrayed a man of mischief except when things got serious. He could be serious, but never longer than absolutely necessary. I smiled whenever I saw him lope into a room because I knew his dry wit was not far behind. He performed with skill and light and is one fellow who I will always remember with respect and fondness.

From the bottom of my heart I am devastated at your loss.
I considered Jeff a dear friend and one of the nicest most sincere people I have met in my lifetime.
My sympathies to all the family and Sandy if you need anything at all, even just an ear please reach out to me!

Such hard news to accept for all of us who are counted among the large tribe that is Jeff's family and friends. Jeff was a mounted policeman of the old school - a rock solid fella with a keen whit and mischievous sense of humour. We had all too many shared memories of 'maintaining the right in all the wrong places'. Through his long involvement in RCMP International peace support operations, he was a man much admired: intrepid, resilience and courageous.
I am a phone call away, Sandy. Anytime, anywhere.

Dear Sandy and family
There are not enough words to express how lucky I was to have met you in 2005.
I was literally lost and fragile in Ottawa and you both came and rescued me.
You opened your house, filled me with love and must of all... gave me a family.
I remembered how you took me under your wing, introduced me with next door Pat and end of the street doctor.
There are so many memories I have, all filled with love, care, protection, selfless affection and always a smile and a hot supper.
I understood the difference between "house and home" while living with you.
I still rememer Jeff´s freshly baked bread at 05:00. Every morning you both prepared a peanut butter sandwich for me to take to school.
You took me for my first snow fight and snow angel in your back yard. And always waited for me awake. You also took me to my first Scottish pub.
I was so confused with the food and asked Jeff what Haggis was. He said with that hidden laugh on his face " You don´t wanna know.... try it and I´ll tell you later" hahaha
He also explained hockey to me (and the fights...), the RCMP, how to cook hummus, shrimp pizza, rice.
Oh my, so many memories...
He got so serious when I tried to do the dishes. He said I was a GUEST and "no no no lady, no one messes with my pots, go back to the table and have a glass of wine with Sandy while I do the dishes".
When I graduated you both sent me a greeting card with a airplane, wishing me the best and a world tour of success. "J & S xxoo"
Jeff, I will always be thankful for all your help and protection. You will always be a truly gentleman around us. God bless you my friend.
Sandy I wish I could be there for you. I will be in prayers. Please remember I am always a phone call away.
With love,
Patty

The Family of Jeff ♥️
Please accept our sympathies and condolences and we are so sorry for your loss. We had the good fortune to work with Jeff on SERT. He was hard working, dedicated, loyal, and always had a smile on his face which was infectious. Jeff was on the Sniper Team with Ted and I was office staff. The close knit of the Team was so enviable to me and I always looked forward to seeing Jeff for a chat or catch up when he was in the office. Jeff was concerned about me running to work so he even took occasion to meet me one morning when I decided to do a longer route to work just to make sure I was okay. We too had occasion to host Jeff for dinner when we were in Regina and he regaled us with stories from his UN tours. An honourable Gentleman who contributed immeasurably and who will be greatly missed. Rest in peace Jeff.

Jeff was a true gentleman. I still remember his excellent reading of the Butler in "The Importance of Being Earnest" at a Christmas party...in his best British accent. I often use his expressions "Fromagement" and "C'est la guerre". In the few brief occasions we met, he left such an amazing impression.
May you find comfort in the many treasured memories of your beloved.
Please accept our deepest condolences. You and the whole family are in our prayers.
May Jeff enjoy Eternal Peace.
God Bless,

My heart and prayers go to you and the families. I am a phone call away!

Sonny, Carrie and Family ...
Words can't express the loss of such an impactful soul and the 45 years of knowing his smile, mannerisms and the always-present, mischief in his eyes. I miss him already. I can only hope he is truly at peace. Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss.

OMG it's just by happenstance that I saw this notice and as you can well imagine I was shocked. While your dad and I had not kept in touch for quite some time the friendship we forged when in Burnaby lasted despite the hiatus in our meetings. I will forever cherish the Sunday dinners at your house while you were just little wee ones yourselves and having your dad as my partner "in crime". He was the best person to guide me and support me at work and guided me while I still had some growing up to do. Despite our sporadic encounters whenever we saw each other it was just like old times. I am so so sorry for your loss. Too young to leave us yet his legacy will live on with both of you and in your children. Fondly, Louisette (Lou).

“I met Jeff on his first shift in Burnaby. I was doing radar on Winston Churchill and this car sped by well over the speed limit. I pulled the car over and Jeff identified himself as a new recruit and was late for his first shift. He was embarrassed and I could not hold back a little chuckle as I welcomed him to Burnaby. He got off with a simple warning. We ended up working together in Zone 2. Hell of a cop who you could always count on. Jeff made a difference and that is the best tribute .”

Dear Sandy,
Bittersweet, I can only imagine may describe it. What a hole Jeff's loss must leave, and how many joyful memories of joy, love and growth must also fill you. What a treasure it is, I believe, to love and be loved as you and Jeff have done so deeply. And loss may be in proportion to how deep the joy was you shared. Jeff's life although now ended is certainly leaving the world a much better place, for how well he lived it and well he served others.
'May the long time Sun shine upon you. All love surround you. And the pure light within you, Guide you on your way...'

You have left a legacy which you can be proud of. and so many that will miss you dearly, Good bye my friend! and my sincere condolences to all his family.
