I am saddened to learn the news of Jeff's passing. As one of his supervisors, I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Jeff "Keebler" at NIPSCO in Southlake Dispatch from 2006 to 2015. It was many years ago, but I fondly remember Jeff as being lighthearted, kind, dedicated, and having a great sense of humor. Outside of work, he'd talk about enjoying summer-time activities like relaxing by the pool, vacationing somewhere warm and sunny with a cool drink in hand, and buying/trying/selling a variety of automobiles! After his retirement, I hope he had a chance to do a few more of those things to which he most enjoyed. My condolences to the family and friends of Jeff. He will be missed. -Tony DePirro
