I am Greg, Jeff's younger brother...I have bad news to relay...
At 2:34am Sunday 7-15-07, Jeff passed away...
It was painless, FINALLY, he had been struggling with the pain and the weight of leaving us, but he finally let go and allowed himself to be free.
I was told he had some dear friends here, which is why I am writing, per his request.
He loved the game/art of Chess, and played for over 27 years, did pretty well from what I know and remember, but he so loved this game...it was the only thing that I think kept him going for so long.
Our address is 338 Sisco Road Pomona Park, FL; 32181 if anyone cares to write or send a card...just put Jeffs name on it, and I will handle the rest.
He had quite a few people on this site he regularly communicated with, but he also just liked everyone he played here he said...good chats and a good game. The names he did mention like, Mike Luka, Jonathan Pettit, Maxim. these guys really touched him 'specially, BUT everyone here that he played also touched him and really helped him get through alot of pain and soul searching.
I will keep everyone "in the loop" as far as services and that, and again I wish to thank everyone at this site, the Network Admin definitely for putting it together (being a UNIX network Admin myself, I can appreciate the time and sweat you put into this site

Thank you again
Greg Jones
