J. Jeffrey Gribb ’84

Jeff died May 25, 2002, from injuries sustained in a cycling accident. He was 39.

Jeff graduated from Central Bucks East HS. At Princeton he received a degree in biology, was a member of the Ivy Club, and met his wife, Jill Moeller '84. He received his MD from the U. of Pittsburgh Medical School and performed his residency and a fellowship in anesthesiology at Harvard Medical School hospitals. He went on to become the chairman of the anesthesia department at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara.

He was famous in the hospital and community for his quick and quirky wit and for treating every individual with respect and dignity. In 1996, Jeff volunteered on a medical mission in El Salvador, treating children with cleft palates.

Jeff balanced his professional life with a family life full of fun and adventure. He was an avid golfer and cyclist, an expert skier, and loved to play and travel with his children, so much so that he became affectionately known as "Dr. Vacation" among his friends.

He is survived by his wife, Jill, daughter Paige, son Parker, sister Stephanie Siddons, brother David, and parents John and Mary Ann. The class extends its deepest sympathy to them all.
