I was shocked to here the loss of Jeff. I was one of Jeff’s upperclassmen, Company L-1, Corps of Cadets. As I got to know Jeff, I knew that great things and opportunities awaited him. He was so bright, witty and such a interesting sense of humor. To the family and close friends of Jeff, my prayers are with you. It is so hard to hear the names we knew, during Aggie Muster. Jeff will be one of the hardest of recent. I will be speaking out “Here” on this coming 2015 Aggie Muster for Jeff Fincher.. To Jeff, Gig-em! Richard & Donna Knox, “78
This is a tough loss for the Fincher family and the Aggie family as well. I will likely be answering “Here” at our Muster ceremony in honor of Jeff and I won’t like it very much at all. Jeff and I were in 1st Batt together during the “Ol Army” days. He was kind, thoughtful and an all around good guy. I’m very sad to hear of his passing..God Bless.
Glorified and sanctified be God?s great name throughout the world which He has created according to His will. May He establish His kingdom in your lifetime and during your days, and within the life of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon; and say, Amen. May His great name be blessed forever and to all eternity. Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored, adored and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He, beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that are ever spoken in the world; and say, Amen. May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life, for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen. He who creates peace in His celestial heights, may He create peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.
We shared many wonderful meals and memories with Jeff and Janice. When our son was born they opened their home to play dates in the pool and with the cats. As human beings go, he was a sweet endearing kind and funny man. My sincerest condolences to Janice and his entire family.
I, too, am so grateful to have had Jeff as a nephew. When Mark and I got the news of his passing, Mark’s first comment was, “He was a good man.” To Mark, that is just about the best thing you can possibly say about anyone. I have many fond memories of Jeff during his time at A & M, as we often would pick him up in Bryan and go on to Lufkin for family events. I remember one particular time when we drove back in an ice storm and had a flat tire. Mark had not made the trip with us, and our children were still young. Jeff’s presence at that time was such a help. He continued to be a source of strength to all his family members, even during his last illness, as we all saw his humor, courage, and faith. Janice, I am so glad that you had those twenty years together. You enriched Jeff’s life, as he did yours. May God comfort you at this sad time. Mary Jean Lett
I first saw Finch at Zachary Engineering Center at A&M. I thought to myself “what a weird looking kid” — he had his Corps haircut already and looked like a sunburned test subject. We all looked like sunburned test subjects within the next few days. It didn’t help that we were both blond – me not as much. Unbelievable years at A&M… He got me my first civilian job after I left the military at Ampex. Malinda and I stayed at his condo and did tile-work and fed him real food until we moved into our house in Fremont. (We kept feeding him, when ever he could break away from everything else he was involved in.) Had a great time at Jeff and Janice’s wedding — tango lessons definitely made a difference because they looked magnificent. Christmas time was always special when Finch was in town — it was a time when he and Lee and I would get together and just talk about what had happened in the past year or so… You’re the first to go… Muster is going to hurt this year… Jeff
I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of Jeff . I’m a friend of Janice and remember Jeff coming to our Leads Club Mixers. May God give you comfort Janice , you had a amazing husband. I’m here for you if you need anything. Love Kathy Mac Donald Adams
Jeff never missed an opportunity to ask a question or to discover what each person he encountered had to offer. He always struck me as kind, sincere, compassionate, and faithful as he was rational and intellectually curious. I learned as much from him about Christianity and Judaism in our too infrequent visits as I did from anyone else I have encountered who did not teach professionally.
I am very blessed to have had Jeff as a nephew. He was a very special person. He was intelligent, happy, kind, caring, and had a great sense of humor, living life as an adventure. I attended his wedding in San Francisco 20 years ago and it was a spectacular event that I will not forget. Jeff and Janice were meant to be together. I developed a closer relation with Jeff after he became sick. We exchanged e-mails often and shared our spiritual walk. Jeff had so much faith in God and lived life to the fullest. He taught me so many things. He sent books to encourage me. I am so grateful to have had him in my life. He had an incredible journey with Janice by his side. I know that he is at peace now.
