Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. Jeff was a very special person and he often told me about what a wonderful family you all are.  He was a joy to work with and he was so willing to share his knowledge and always sought to learn more.  May God hold you in the palm of his hand during this difficult time.

Thoughts and prayers to the entire Nesbitt family during this sad time.

Jeff and I shared a 35 year friendship. Our careers in building products and related industies frequently overlapped and most recently led us to work together at our venture IPT Corporation. Jeff will be remembered by many for his many innovations and his early stage product development. I will remember him most for his friendship and his wit and humor.
Best wishes for his family and friends who will miss him as I will.

Jeff was a good talker and could have sold ice to Eskimos! Jeff had a good sense of humor and loved to talk shop and business. He really enjoyed the "art of the deal" and loved to talk about it. We will miss Jeff and his jovial personality.
We offer our condolences to the Nesbitt family at this difficult time. We are making a donation in Jeff’s name to the American Heart Association.
