Condolences to Mr. Armbruster. Thank you for being a public servant to Lorain Co.

Photographing many events in North Ridgeville, I always looked forward to seeing Jeff there, supporting the activities. I could count on his warm smile and engaging presence.
Some of the most enjoyable, memorable, and inspirational events of my life - be it as family, friend, sports fan, music lover, or boss - would have never happened if not for Jeff and his family. Witnessing first-hand the love, compassion, quick-wit, generosity, dedication, and quest for perfection that came from this man was a treasure in itself. I am so proud to have known Jeff and thankful for the love, support, and opportunities provided to me and my family. Rest in peace, brother.

Papa you will be missed.
While I only knew Jeff professionally during his time here at the County, it was clear that he was a force to be reckoned with. I had the opportunity to experience his wit, dedication, and commitment firsthand. It was evident that Jeff made a meaningful impact on everything he set his mind to.
During this difficult time, I am sending love, light, and heartfelt prayers to his family, especially Lee and his grandchildren, whom he often spoke of with such love and pride, as well as to his friends and all who are grieving this loss. May they find comfort in the memories they shared and strength in the support surrounding them.
