Words cannot express the depths of my sadness. I have know Jeff for many years, since he joined Novartis back in 1997. He often told stories of his travels, music, home improvement and more. He had a breath and depth of knowledge on more topics than anyone I ever met before or since. That made him our go to person for most questions. May God give his family strength and peace in this difficult time. I will miss you my friend. Until we meet again.

Dear Maca family, I am very sorry for your loss: I can't imagine the echo of the empty space left by this very special man. I worked closely with Jeff on several clinical projects at Novartis. We spent parts of our time delving in the statistics of patient populations and the other part chatting about life and nature. When my son developed a wasp phobia, Jeff guided me in understanding how I could minimize wasp visits in my garden without endangering other flying friends, walking around his property with his camera to show me tricks and problems. My chats with Jeff were very special and serene, a welcome break in the day. Thanks for our talks, Jeff - you have left a mark.

I knew Jeff in High School. We rode the bus and lived within a few blocks of each other. So many memories. Apple II games and BBSes, riding our ten speed bikes to LSU-S to play tennis and swim in the pool, collect stuff from a creek near our houses for his acquarium...hanging out and watching music videos. I have a clear memory of seeing 'Material Girl' at Jeff's house for one of the first times...I think Jeff had a type IYKWIM. ;) Hadn't really talked much outside of FB but so many good memories in that well. :( CMHS '89

Jeff was a kind, gentle, and smart statistician with a strong passion for music too. I had the privilege of being one of his former colleagues and I wish the time had been longer. Wish him rest in peace and may his melodies continue in the heaven.

Words cannot express the sadness I feel with your passing, Jeff. You brought so much light and kindness into my life and the lives of so many others. We were colleagues and good friends for over a decade while working together at Quintiles and Bayer. So many memories and stories... I was trying to find more pictures, but found just this one from China - it was right after we climbed a Great Wall (everyone was pretty tired). Your friendship was a true blessing, and I will forever cherish the memories we shared. Rest in peace, my dear friend. You are deeply missed. My heart goes out to your family during this incredibly difficult time. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and them. - Olga Marchenko

I had the honor of being Jeff's colleague for a short period of time. He was a gentleman and smart. It's a big loss and I wish all the strength for his family to go through this loss!

It was an honor and privilege to know and perform with Jeff. He was a wonderful talent, who shared my love of jazz. We had many terrific conversations about music (and life). I hoped that one day, we could sit and play through the countless jazz standards we chatted about. During performances, I knew that I could count on him to be creative, insightful, and listening. When the time came to play music, Jeff never let me down. Although soft spoken, he had a clever and witty sense of humor that was always right on point. Jeff, I miss you terribly already. The angels have got themselves a pretty good musician to work with. Rest easy brother.

What I wouldn’t give to play one more game, go on one more hike, or discuss the brisket on the smoker. Praying for strength for your loving family I miss you, my friend.

Jeff was such a good guy! He was like a big brother to me at graduate school at Texas A&M and I got to catch up with him many years at Joint Statistical Meetings, but sadly not since before the pandemic. I will miss him, and pray for his wife and kids, for their comfort at this time!
