Jeff was a one of a kind person, who i think will always be remembered for his determination, his love for his family, his love for sports and his funny sayings. I met Jeff when I was 14 years old and to this day, I still find myself quoting him...as Jeff Tamborlane would say "I'm off like a prom dress"...as Jeff Tamborlane would say..."Go Play in heavy traffic" (he liked to say that one-tongue in cheek of course-to my mom)...My family felt very close to Jeff. He spent many afternoons at our pool and came skiing with us a number of times. I remember that he loved one trail, Beartrap, because it always had moguls and he would make me ski it the entire day with him, never getting bored, just wanting to tackle his form. I was always struck by the connection he had with his grandparents and I loved that his license plate TAMBE 2 was a nod to his grandparents' TAMBE plates. Not many teenagers would acknowledge their grandparents that way. Jeff was always in incredible shape and very healthy. In high school we used to go out for frozen yogurt almost everyday. One of the last conversations I had with him was a few months ago where he commented how funny it was that times had changed and that "frozen yogurt has too many carbs." Lastly, I was always so impressed that when Jeff decided he wanted to go to Georgetown as a freshman at Maryland, he made it happen. And when he decided he wanted to go there for Med School, he made that happen too. For a college freshman to get his act together and get into a school like Georgetown shows an almost unimaginable level of focus and determination. Since I am in New York and Jeff was in Hawaii, I was already missing Jeff, I can't imagine what it will feel like when the reality sets in that his absence is permanent. With Love, Allison Jaffin
