Jeff and I first met when we joined BR Research in 1970. We both worked in the Advanced Projects Division Laboratory testing new components for rail vehicle's.

I got on with Jeff straight away and we have been friends for almost fifty six years.

Jeff enjoyed most sports but his passion was table tennis. We used to practice at Belper Sports Centre, Cromford Community Centre and several other local sports venues.

Jeff was a gentleman and I was very fortunate to have known him.
