I’m so sorry to all of Jeff’s friends and family. While we parted ways after high school, I remember him always making me laugh so hard I couldn’t breathe. He was better than me in band so I always could catch back on if I listened for him. My sincere condolences.

Jeffrey was an old friend of mine I met through my ex husband years and years ago. He was friendly, funny, and part of several important moments in my life. I am shocked to hear he passed and will miss him…..

We were best friends from early childhood. You were the most unique, intelligent, gifted soul I will ever meet. Always there for me, always helpful, you knew more about me than anyone else. My heart is heavy and I will never be the same. Much love to Sue, Tim, Amanda, Meghan and Chris. Jeff was a light to all the met him.

I grew up at the same church as Jeff- we played in the “choir band” together as young students. I have countless memories of us giggling and laughing at the smallest things that were funny to us at the time- trying to keep our laughing undetected during the service but I’m sure we weren’t as stealthy as we thought we were. I looked forward to seeing him every Sunday because he was truly a joy to be around. He was two years older than me and I idolized how talented he was on so many instruments. I was lucky enough to see him play the banjo a few times and I was just struck by how talented and lucky he was to have the abilities he had. We spent countless Sundays continuing our laughing marathons after services in the church reception hall over coffee and donuts. He truly was light-spirited, kind, jovial, and made your cheeks hurt after spending only a few minutes around him. I’m so sorry for Sue, Tim, Megan, Amanda and Chris. Your loss is felt out here in California and he’s not forgotten. <3 xo ~Amanda Price (Sue Proulx's daughter)

I worked on Jeff’s cars. He one time came in with a shirt that said “I failed the Turing test”. I said, ” your a robot!?” . He was one of the few customers that I liked when they would hang around and talk while I was doing the work. He even checked in on me a couple months ago to make sure I was doing ok in the current crisis. I was really hoping to see him again soon and just found out I won’t be. Thank you Jeff for giving this world your experience, short as it was. You will he missed.

I am so sad to hear this news of Jeff’s passing. I watched him grow up and admired his musical ability the church choir! Then he did a major painting job at my house! It still looks good! He had great focus! Peter and I will be praying for the repose of his soul and comfort for the family-who are great people!

I had the honor to work with Jeff’s mom Sue until 12/18 and just learned of his passing. I am so very sorry for Jeff’s passing. Sue was a fantastic mom and colleague and I can only imagine how hard this is (at this weird time) for the McCormick family. My sincerest condolences to the family and for the repose of Jeff’s soul. May he rest in Peace and Light.

So sorry to hear of Jeff’s passing. I have so many fond memories of marching band and concert band with him. We marched side by side, and sat together, as we both played euphonium. I will miss him so much!
