Condolences to Jeff's family.
I did meet him several times during my travels. A couple of years ago, I stayed for a week in his condo at Royal Palms. He even called me from the States to make sure I was enjoying the place (The Love Shack). Another trip down, he took me and a friend out to dinner at Rojo, my favorite restaurant, complete with a birthday cake celebration.
RIP CJ.......you will be missed by many!
