"13 years ago October 28th Jefferey Wells Powers died....he would have been 50 that Halloween...I certainly don't want to die like him perhaps the most lasting lesson he taught me; how not to die. But as a dear love of both of ours once said to me, "my life would be unrecognizable without you in it", so true of you Jeff...what would my life be if you hadn't been so much a part of it."
Although our paths crossed numerous times over the years (plenty of mutual friends and former roommates, even two schools--CHS and Pitzer), I never really knew Jeff that well. I did have several conversations with him when he had his video store over on Foothill. I felt a lot of sympathy for what he was having to go through physically with that bad hip. He deserves a lot of credit for his taste in film and leaving a legacy that evolved into Video Paradiso down in the Village. A very enriching contribution to future generations and the Claremont community. RIP
