Name: Spencer Bauch Comments To whom it may concern, I met Chief Jeffery in mid part of 1996 through a friend who just got on the job at the Submarine Base Fire Department. Since then I would only see and here how he was doing through friends of his who I now. Each time I heard what he was doing, I was always inspired. He gave me a moment of his time that one day and it was as if him and I were friends for years. His voice or courage and confidence and appreciation to all made you feel comfortable having conversation. I was able to see him this past summer, I attended a badge pinning to see one of my friends who just was hired receive his badge. A/C Jeffery's as I always remembered him, was there and with his smile which comforted and gave joy to the ceremony. I would like to truly say that he was a FIREMAN'S FRIEND. I am currently a Lieutenant for the East Brooklyn Fire Department, Brooklyn, CT. We would like to all share our condolences to a great friend of the Fire Service and to someone who we will Never Forget.

Kenny’s great sense of humor and funny jokes always lifted spirits of all those around him. His outstanding leadership and camaraderie amongst his firefighters was most impressive. Kenny, in my eyes, and I am sure in the eyes of many many others, was truly an icon. We always kept in touch by phone over the years and I will now miss that greatly.

I know he was a huge asset to the SBFD and just as important to the WLFD. I have talked to so many people that know him and have never heard a bad word spoken about him.
