Happy Birthday Jeff! You Are Not Forgotten.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Jeff! This is the 4th time you are celebrating this special day in Heaven while we celebrate you here on Earth. We still think about you and treasure the memories we have of you every day. We are thankful for the blessings God has so graciously given us in this life and one of those many blessings was having you for a husband and a father. We miss you as we continue down life’s journey. You are loved and You are forever remembered! Till We meet again on the shores of Heaven. With Our Love always, Julie and TJ

Jeff loved to take photographs and here are two videos of some of the photographs he took.

If Jeff was still here, he would definitely encourage you to get to know Jesus through a relationship with Him as your Savior if you haven’t done that yet. There is nothing like experiencing the comfort and assurance of the Holy Spirit in your life especially at this time of year. Jesus lives and he is waiting for you to get to know Him.

From everyone at Foggy Point Light Publishing, Thank you for reading our books and please continue to pray for us as we find the right author to finish Project Vortex: Volume Three of the Foggy Point Light Trilogy. We pray 2025 will be the year for Project Vortex to be released. God blessings to each and every one of you.

Journal Entry from 2022: Thoughts About Jeff by Julie

“In a world of givers and takers, Jeff was both. He loved to take in what life had to offer. He pursued life with passion and a grateful heart. He was also curious and intrigued about learning how things work in life. His appetite for learning would have him taking things apart so he would have a better understanding of the design and mechanics of the items. He was also a giver, a friend to anybody who needed one. He became like a 2nd dad to a youth that had lost his dad in his teen years so much so that this youth started calling Jeff “dad”. His motto in life was to be a beacon of light that God had instilled in him. I think that is why he loved lighthouses so much. They have a purpose but also add to the landscape of where they are built. A lighthouse is a navigational tool for sailors of the sea to warn of danger and guide one to safety but they also hold an attraction to ones who stay inland as well. Jeff lived life to the fullest that he could possibly live. He was a great son, husband and father who had many interests and hobbies to keep him busy and fulfilled; one of those interests was to become a writer. One of his dreams took 10 years to come to reality. In Jeff’s own words, “10 years means 7 years thinking about the story and 3 years writing.” The final edition of Foggy Point Light was totally different than what he had originally imagined it to be and he credits God for the story as it seemed to write itself. Jeff’s original intent for Foggy Point Light was to be one book but then as the story developed, Jeff knew it was destined to be a trilogy. I miss Jeff more than words could ever express but thankfully memories of the time we did have together will continue to keep him forever in my heart.”

Another one of Jeff’s passions was to sing and he enjoyed being a member of our church choir for years. Below is a video of Jeff singing with the UHBC Choir in 2004 for a Christmas Special. It is just one of many videos that we have of Jeff singing and I thought this might be a good Christmas card from Foggy Point Light in 2024. May each and every one of you be blessed as we ponder the real reason for the season which is Christ The Lord who came down to redeem mankind with the gift of Eternal Salvation. Merry Christmas!

Remembering & Honoring Jeff’s Legacy as an Author

Jeff has been gone from this earth for a little over 2 years & 8 months. His family & friends still recall fond memories of him and miss him dearly. Shortly after Jeff’s entrance into Heaven in 2022, his classmates from high school helped contribute to having a Tribute Paver Stone installed at one of the favorite places and ministry that Jeff loved to visit and support in Charlotte, NC. The Paver Stone honors the legacy of Jeff’s first novel “Foggy Point Light” which is Volume One in the FPL Trilogy. It is located on the pathway in front of the 1927 Graham Homeplace at the Billy Graham Library. Jeff would be pleased because this was a gift of love from dear friends and family plus the paver stone program helps the BGEA in their mission to promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ who Jeff accepted as his personal Lord and Savior. Below is a picture of the Tribute Paver Stone. Special thanks to Roger for taking this photo and sending it to us and the many friends of Jeff who contributed to this Paver Stone.

Honoring Jeff’s Legacy as an Author Continues with a Flight Path Brick for Volume Two in the FPL Trilogy “Ripples: Return to Foggy Point Light” Installed in May 2024 at the Newly Opened Sullenberger Aviation Museum in Charlotte, NC.

Jeff would be thrilled with this brick located on the Flight Path at SAM because he loved everything about aviation and the brick program helps the museum promote educational and fun aspects of the world of aviation. The museum was known as the Carolinas Aviation Museum which closed in 2019 and has just recently this year reopened in a new larger location at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport along with a new name honoring the pilot of “The Miracle on the Hudson” plane, Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger. Jeff was looking forward to the museum reopening so Julie and TJ (Jeff’s wife & son) decided it would be a fitting tribute to his memory in supporting the museum that was dear to Jeff’s heart and also to continue to honor Jeff’s Legacy as an author of his second novel “Ripples Return to Foggy Point Light” Volume Two of the FPL Trilogy.

Both Volumes of the FPL Trilogy are available in paperbacks which can be purchased through Amazon, Books A Million, Barnes & Noble. They are also available in Kindle, Nook & iBooks platforms.

Below are the links to videos on the Foggy Point Light’s YouTube Channel showcasing the above bricks at the BGL and SAM.

If Jeff was still here, he would definitely encourage you to get to know Jesus through a relationship with Him as your Savior. Then you can experience the comfort and assurance of the Holy Spirit in your life as well. Jesus lives and he is waiting for you to get to know Him.
