I know it's not current, but I just found out Jeff died, and am profoundly sorry. I was a member of his KVSD sales staff in the late 80's and early 90's. He was one of the most wonderful men I ever met. His kindness and patience were extraordinary. I was a single father when I worked for him, and needed to bring in my 2 year old daughter to the station. (She is now 30, married and the mother of twins.) I turned my back and she was gone. The station was by a lagoon and a busy street, so I panicked. I found her in Jeff's office, watching cartoons. (His television was always tuned to a business channel, which she had obviously changed.) I thought The Boss would be annoyed. He enjoyed the moment, not like a Boss; more like a family man, and a friend. The thing I learned from Jeff was that he always looked for a reason to say "yes". This doesn't mean he made poor business choices, far from it. He was razor sharp mentally. It was simply that he always approached everything from a positive point of view. It's been years since he passed. I am sure his family and friends still miss him.

My sincere condolence goes to the Chandler family. I was one of the first employees KKOS, when we went on air, for the first time. Mr. Chandler was extremely excieted with his new venture. It was a great team effort between all of us. Jeff was always involved, finding new marketing ideas for the "new kid on the block". he will be missed by many. I never forgot KKOS. rest in peace Jeff, a great man who knew no limits. you left too soon Jeff Chandler. God Bless You. Jayme Andrews

I shall always remember the days when Jeff was active in the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce where I was the "Chamber Maid." He was so full of life and fun. I remember the day we picketed the radio station (signs and all) trying to get him to run for the President of the Chamber which he would have no part of. I remember him leaning out the upstairs window, throwing water on our heads. You always knew when Jeff entered the room. He was larger than life.
Blessings on all his dear family.

He was a great boss at KCEO. He let us do what we thought was best, trusted our professionalism.

To Jeff's Family:
Dear Mrs. Chandler and family,
I want you all to know what a special patient Mr. Chandler was for us in the IAU. His courage and forbearance was a beautiful thing for us to behold.
I believe I can speak for all of us when I say Mr. Chandler was one of the most appreciative and kind patients we have ever had the privilege of caring for.
God's abundant grace and comfort to you
all as you reflect on your shared memories and move forward bearing the impression of Mr. Chandler's life on yours.
Most Sincerely,
Lisa RN

I remember spending high school days with Jeff working on my '47 Mercury woodie, playing poker above the garage and riding around Newport Harbor in the family's runabout. Condolences.
