Very sad news regarding Jeff. I have'nt been able to get it out of my mind since I heard about it this weekend. Jeff was an amazing kid -one of those people who everyone liked. It seemed like he could do anything he set his mind to and I always had the deepest respect for him although I never told him. One year he would decide to play basketball, and he was quickly the best at it. Another year he decided he wanted to play tennis or football and he became the best at that. Then he decided to be a doctor and sure enough, he did it. You name it, he mastered it. I loved playing baseball with him on his dad's Little League team (sorry Annand but we had Jeff:). The practices we had were really great becuase Jeff could be quite funny. We won something like 14 games in a row with our talented lefthanded shortstop/pitcher. I knew if I got on first base Jeff was driving me home, it was as simple as that. Jeff and I pitched every inning but I knew when he threw it was a guaranteed victory. Jeff won MVP that year and he still had one more year to play!!! Unfortunately he broke his leg in the offseason which really bummed me out becuase I was SURE he was going to hit 20 home runs the next year and pitch 5 no-hitters - but he took it really well and it never seemed to bother him. By high school I rarely talked to Jeff as we were never in the same class, but he always acknowledged me with a 'hello' and remained cordial. He was always kind and respectful as I even remember my mother commenting 'how polite that Jeffrey Tamborlane is' when he would come over my house when we were kids. I distinctly recall one instance where the quality of Jeff's character was on display. We were freshman in high school and two older kids were bullying another kid in the hallway. While everyone else just seemed not to notice or care, Jeff went over and told them to stop and asked if the kid was alright. I always remembered that scene when I thought of Jeff. I hope you Haworth guys are all doing well (Greg, Annand, Jeff G., and of course my pal J. Coles). P.S. Greg, If you get any info on the funerary services it would be great if you could post them here.
