~To Darla and the Family~
Rest assured our spirit paths will surely cross again. That meeting will be in a place where we will walk in the path of pure love, peace and serenity of hearts without worry. Pain will not be a memory. It is with the sense of deep, tender, ineffable feelings of affection and solicitude that we tell those around us how much we Love them because life is ever so fragile...
Until we meet again.
Your Friend,

Darla-
I really enjoyed working with Jeff. It wasn't until the past six months that we really started working closely together. In that short amount of time I learned a great deal from Jeff. I have always had the utmost respect for Jeff’s straight, no chaser approach. A long time HP manager once said to me "we stand on the shoulders of giants trying to keep their legacy going."
Jeff was definitely one of the giants. In honor of Jeff the team here is working hard trying to keep his legacy going.
There are a number of people here at Agilent who are thinking about you and are here if you need us.

To Kathy, Barbara, Steve, Chris, and Darla,
I was deeply saddened when I learned of Jeff's passing. The Froom family holds a special place in my heart - Mary and Bob being the best of friends to my parents and the gate connecting our backyards. Our families shared some fun times growing up. It has been many years since I've seen Jeff, but makes the loss none less. God bless you and may His peace replace the heartache. Sincerely, Majel

My memories of Jeff were of his professionalism at work and the way he would treat everyone that deserved it, with dignity. During time away from work we often talked about his love of boating on Lake Berryessa and what the future would hold for us.
Let us all remember that Jeff is in a better place, free of pain and with a sprit that will live with us all.

I have known Jeff for over 25 years. Jeff was not only a professional colleague, but a very dear friend. We have shared many fond memories over the years, and these memories will always be a part of my life.
One such memory was a business trip we (Bill Splane, Casey Sluse, Jeff and myself) had taken to Long Island to visit a vendor. Afterwards, we spent several days in Manhattan sampling everything the Big Apple had to offer. Those were the days of bottomless expense accounts, excessiveness, and fun times. Though those days are long gone, the memories of Jeff and the good-old-days will live on.
Jeff was a great traveling buddy, colleague, and dear friend, and will always be a part of me.
We love you Jeff.

Darla,
My heart breaks for you...just wanted to share the last time I saw Jeff. About a year ago I had to go the the Credit Union on Ftn Grove. As I was leaving I got stuck
at the light. In front of me was a truck with a guy that looked familiar...all of a sudden the truck door opens the guys gets out and it is Jeff...(I had not seen him in a couple of years as I had been laid off since 2003. I rolled down my car window he reached in and gave me a big hug..we said Hi,
the light turned red, he ran back to his truck... that is my last memory of your wonderful husband.
I will cherish it always.
Love,
