Jeff Lane
So, a long time ago, when I first wandered into Epoch and said, as I recall, “Um, I think I work here now?”, I met this guy – Jeff Lane. He was the first friend that I made at Epoch (back when it was HLC internet), and we used to come in on weekends even though it wasn’t our shift and have bagels and barqs rootbeer and talk about stuff. I taught him some things about how the internet works, and he taught me some things about how life works. He was a really bighearted, great guy. I can’t really say enough about how friendly, likable, and enjoyable to be around he was.
We played a lot of warcraft2 and answered a lot of customer phone calls, and we remained friends throughout the years. The last time I saw him was way too long ago, seven or eight years I think, but we still chatted on facebook regularly.
Recently, he left earth – logged out, as I like to say – his body failed him. I will write more about that and how I think the health care system contributed to it later. But.. I wrote some music for him, and I thought I’d share it with you all.
Godspeed and au revoir, Jeff. Until we meet again… you will be missed.

I meant to mail a note in regard to this, but the whole stay at home and no going to the post office has thrown me a bit. I was very sad to read this as it was a loss too early and a good friend of yours and others. No doubt his work in security with EPA was a gift to the world. With deepest sympathy to you and to all who loved him.
