"JT", a HSBBW old timer, passed away this afternoon after a tragic accident in Lynchburg, VA. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers as they cope with his loss.

I don't post often, but read alot, and know that so many of you are friends.

JT passed away while throwing BP on the baseball field at Lynchburg College. He was a kind man, who shared so much knowledge and passion here.

You're not talking about Jeff!!!!!! Right!!!!!!??????

Does anyone know anything more about this?
I have checked the site for Liberty where JT worked and Lynchburg where Jeff Jr. goes to school and there isn't anything posted.
If anyone has any further information, please share with us.

I did too dad as well as Lynchburgs.
Sorry, I just realized you checked both.

Oh my God !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just found out about this. I am numb. I have met Jeff Sr. personally and cannot believe this has happened

I met Jeff last year in Lynchburg. Him and I have been very close. He has been very supportive of my son. Can you please post more details.

Oh, Lord Dan, I cannot believe it! He just posted today. Do you know what happened. I'm just absolutely in shock!!!!!!!!!!

ClevelandDad - sent you a pm

Not JT.............. oh, man, this is too much.

"It seems the older the boys get...the faster the time flies and the less time we have to enjoy their ride."

This is the conclusion of an email I received on 4/20/09 from our wonderful and caring friend, and my DIII sharing cyber parent, JT.
For some reason, I think Jeff's spirit would want his message to be shared.
As I read it, and read CD's post, I am overwhelmed with grief. My thoughts are with Jeff's family in hopes they will find comfort in knowing how much he loved them, and especially with Jeff, Jr. and JT's Dad

dad - I agree with your sentiments. JT was a person I talked with many times. He thought more highly of his wife than almost any man I've ever known. My thoughts and prayeres are with MC. I just can't imagine what she or Jeff Jr are thinking. I can't believe this myself. I just can't believe it.

My heart sank when I read the first post.

I was afraid to look because I expected the worst.

It was.

No please this can't be true.

Oh my god, I just can't believe it, this is getting to be too much. I just can not imagine how JT junior must be right now.

I am so sad, my heart breaks for his family.

JT, one of the nicest sweetest persons I have met here. His dad is a big Cardinals fan, so he was always inquiring about how DK was doing and a huge fan.

I am at a loss for words.

Jeff was like a brother to me. Unimaginable sadness.

If he had to go, waaaaay before his time, do you think there is anywhere he'd rather be than on a baseball field with his son?

I have read many of his posts. He came across as very genuine.

I believe this is an early report of his death.

It's just so tragic.

This goes beyond word's, My Heart goes out to the Family at this time.
God Bless you Jeff.

I just cannot speak. I will pray for JT, his son and his family. So sad, so terribly sad. JT was one of the most positive, cheerleading-to-others and optimistic posters on this site.

I'm so sorry.
