I also feel blessed that I got to visit with him at NAMES.

RIP @JLEHN.

The Old Guard of Skilled Craftsman loses another from the fold!

Never knew him, but have known his type, and that would make this a sad loss for us all!!!

Sad to hear, I am glad I got to meet and talk with Jeff at NAMES, but that is already a few years ago. He had built some very nice pieces.

It is with great sadness I report Jeff Lehn's passing.

He was a good friend of John McDivitt and it was John who introduced me to him.

Jeff was a very skilled machinist and he honed a lot of his skills with lessons from John McDivitt.

I spoke with his wife just yesterday and she beside herself. (Jeff was still alive at this time but in the hospital and losing a battle.

He was a fighter and he began fighting cancer 10 or more years ago. It would be pneumonia and flu A that finally put an end to him.

Jeff was the salt of the earth and one of the most decent people I have ever known.

R.I.P.  Jeff.  You will be greatly missed.
