Conscious Capitalism and our world has lost a wonderful advocate to all that's good in us. I was so impressed by all Jeff had to say and how friendly, gracious, and inspiring he was at the CC Conference I attended. My deepest sympathy.

I graduated with from Emmaus High School with Jeff- he was intelligent, compassionate, charismatic, athletic, creative - a natural leader and a rising star. I have enjoyed hearing of Jeff's journey through life and recently watched his TEDx talk where he shared his passions and ideas. My heart goes out to Jeff's daughter, parents, brothers and sister, extended family members and to all the lives he touched. Jeff's enthusiasm will be in our hearts forever and I am so grateful to have known him and to have been inspired by him.
