Jeffrey L. Farbacher, 56, of Pine Township, died suddenly Monday, Feb. 29, 2016. He was born July 23, 1959, in Pittsburgh, son of Robert Farbacher and Corinne (Beatty) Farbacher. He was the beloved husband for 28 years of Elizabeth (Aufman) Farbacher; loving father of Haley L., Shannon E. and Ryan A. Farbacher; dear brother of Kimberly Lackatos and the late James D.

Dear Beth and Family,

Deepest condolences. We did not know Jeff well, just a couple of scout campouts, but we respected him as a leader of young men in the scout movement. We know our son Seys has been impacted positively having known him, as I think will countless other scouts that were lucky enough to be guided by him. That in itself is a fine legacy.

Sincerely
The Walker Family

Jeff was a great workout partner. I enjoyed his company at the gym - always equipped with a funny remark or word of encouragement. He even offered to help out my students who were building a solar boat. He will be missed.

My deepest condolences.
