Every time I saw him, he had a smile on his face - he brought humor and light to everyone in the room.

All of Jeff's family and friends have lost a fantastic buddy. And his home state of Maine has lost one of its finest sons. I still can't believe this really happened.

But like every cartoonist I’ve had the good fortune to meet, Jeff was so open and welcoming with sharing his time and about his experience, and he was supportive and encouraging. I never forgot that, and it’s one of the reasons I never say no to anyone who asks about the profession. <br />Jeff’s iconic work is a personal inspiration in how he was an effective one-man marketing agent, what with merchandise and a presence in print + on-line, and we had corresponded at length last year about his making the jump into classrooms and exploring artist-in-residency opportunities. Seeing his book take off was a kick in the pants, and this is a tremendous loss of talent to the creative community.<br />Peace to you Mike, and to all his New England peers, and condolences to Jeff’s family and close friends. <br />He was funny as hell and will be missed. jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929486289400863627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25473451.post-38914295942336507272014-04-06T14:07:17.395-04:002014-04-06T14:07:17.395-04:00So, so sad.
