Joffre

Joffre, affectionately known as Jeff, was born in 1924 in New Plymouth, New Zealand, and comes from a proud lineage of French ancestors. He has dedicated much of his life to his family and career, notably working with the Ministry of Works on the development of a power station near Lake Waikaremoana during the early years of his marriage. Celebrating 80 years of marriage with his wife Doreen, Jeff is remembered by his family for his kindness, generosity, and the wisdom of resolving conflicts before bedtime.
