I lived with Jeff in Hermosa Beach during his residency. I am smiling as I remember those day with the self proclaimed, "Surfer, Stud, Surgeon." S cubed, Triple S, so many to remember. Jeff was always making me laugh. He loved to go straight from the hospital and head to Whole Foods to buy a pre-made really healthy dinner. God forbid Jeff would put anything unhealthy in the temple of his body. :) A few moments at home and then off to the gym, faithfully. He was VERY disciplined and I can still remember that brown box from Whole Foods every night. When Jeff would come home from working out, or from surfing, he would push me aside in the bathroom mirror and jokingly flex and we'd all say what a stud he was and how many girls would be in love with him. Of course if I didn't say that I'd have to run into my room and lock the door as to avoid the brotherly beat down. :) We had such fun. I'll never forget he met a really great girl and went on a few dates with her. The only problem was that with his residency, whole foods addiction, the gym and having to go to church every Sunday, Jeff couldn't figure out how to fit her in. We sat around one night and he tried to think of what he could sacrifice. I kept negotiating for the girl, but Jeff was Jeff and he has his passions. The girl had to go. Jeff knew what he loved in his life and he stuck with it. I've never met anyone quite like Jeff. :) It's great to meet people like Jeff in your life. He is not someone you ever forget. He always makes you smile whenever you think of him and he definitely mattered. I'll miss Jeff. I'll miss not getting to see him again. I'll miss further Tamborlane stories. Karen
