Throughout their 28 years in Madison, Jeff and Pam loved spending their time in the sun on the town beaches, which Jeff helped to develop as Chairman of the Madison Beach and Recreation Commission.  Jeff also served the Town of Madison as a member of the Police and Fire Pension Boards.  Jeff was a passionate sports fan, spending 15 years coaching his sons' various baseball teams and celebrating the successes of the Yankees, Giants, and UConn Huskies with his family.  He also became an avid golfer, improving his game in his many rounds at the Madison Country Club.
