In Loving Memory
On January 18 , Jeff Wilhelmsen sadly passed away after a brief battle with Pancreatic Cancer . He was a mentor at buzz for the last 20 years . During his time at buzz he had impacted so many lives , he will be missed dearly .
“ He made me feel confident in everything I was doing , not just with robotics but with everything in life . I could talk it him about anything going on and he would be there to listen as well as help me out if I needed it . He was just someone that was there for me and helped me out in more ways than one .” -Anna Carllo
“ Jeff is the reason why I am going the path that I am going down . He made sure I was confident in everything that I was doing and me realize my love for many things in life . He taught me everything about the field of electronics , from what a connector was to how to make a full electrical system . He was always there for me and would listen to anything I had to say whether or not it was about robotics .” - Andrew Halsey
“ He taught me most of what I know about robotics . He always made sure I knew the name of tools because if we called something a “ thingie ” or “ stuff ” he always made us figure out the name of the tool . He also helped me find out what I want to study in college , and that I want to stay in the electrical field .” - James Gannon
