Condolence From: David Cafarella
Condolence: A man with a warm, caring, vivacious personality who seemed to bring light and energy into every room. Strong and confident in his convictions and strong in his way of living. A tenacious competitor with great drive and endurance. He set an example of how to live your life to the absolute fullest. His strength and energy made him seem invincible which makes his loss so difficult to process. I feel blessed for having the privilege to have known and spend time with him for the limited time I did. Rest In Peace My Friend.

Condolence From: Jonathan D. Hussey
Condolence: Kim and family ... I was very shocked to hear of Jeff's passing. I was always running into him at Hannaford ..Always a positive note when we talked. The days of a young Kennebunkport and the AYC brought the Hussey's and Coles together forever and Fairfield drive! Jeff and Tim are looking down and smiling on the families ... they are at peace. poems I like ..
- May God give you…For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer.
- Life is eternal, and love is immortal,
and death is only a horizon;
and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
~Rossiter Worthington Raymond
Be Well Be Safe you are in my thoughts / prayers.

Condolence From: Sandy Noble
Condolence: My heart breaks for this beautiful family. When I lost my husband in 2012, Jeff had Cole Harrison pay my insurance bill, so that I would not lose coverage. It's a gesture that I never forgot. Love, hugs and healing over time for all of Jeff's family , friends and business associates that will all be greatly impacted by this loss.

Condolence From: JIM AND CONNIE BRESCIA
Condolence: Kim, Ben, Rachel and Michael:
Words cannot adequately express the
profound and heartfelt sorrow for the loss
of this extraordinary man, Jeff Cole
He was a star, that shot across the sky,
and dimmed too soon.
We basked in his light, and he made us better.
When I look for ways
to ease this constant ache,
I think of how fortunate we are
to have known a person such as he;
of the laughter and pure joy we shared,
and memories that will endure.
It just felt good to be around him.

Condolence From: Sandy & carol MacKinnon

Rest in Peace Jeff you will be missed.

Condolence From: Bob Gills
Condolence: I met Jeff in 7th grade in 1966 when I moved to Kennebunk from Connecticut. He was the first kid to reach out to me and befriend me. We were friends through HS even though he left to go to Berwick Academy I think when he was a junior. He remained a good friend through college years when all the guys would get together in the summer, and even after I left Maine. A great guy, always a plus to be around. And even though I'd been away for 10 years, he called me when my mom died in 1989. I last spoke to him maybe 8 years ago on his visit to Colorado. He reached out to me; that's how he was. Genuine, sincere, the real deal.
God bless the Cole family and I pray for comfort for all of you. I am sorry I can not be present at the services due to business travel.

Condolence: Hearing the incredibly sad news about Jeff while we are away has made it that much harder to comprehend. As many have said and will say, Jeff was a pillar in the community who devoted himself to trying to make a difference. His dedication and caring for his family was unparalleled and our thoughts and prayers are with Kim, Rachel, Michael and Ben during this difficult time. We can only hope that the countless happy memories will get you through the dark times. Kathy and I will miss our friend, Jeff. We reflect on the many times the four of us shared, races, holidays, family events and just hanging out (those were the best). Those memories will never fade for us as they are such an integral part of our experiences that bring us to the present. Jeff would be the first guy to say that we must all carry on and we will, but there will always be something missing. RIP our good friend. We love you. Davey and Kathy Bois

Condolence: I first met Jeff back in the late 70’s when he worked at the Sugarloaf ski shop before launching his insurance career. Years later, as an insurance adjuster I was often in the Cole Harrison Agency inter-reacting with Jeff, the consummate professional.Razor sharp with the details and a sense of humor to match! A peach of a man. RIP Jeff.

Condolence From: QM
Condolence: Please accept my deepest condolences. It’s always a painful tragedy to lose a loved one in death. It saddens us to think that we may never see our loved one’s smile again or hear their laughter again. But God has promised all of us that one day death will not exist and that we will see our dead loved ones again. Revelation 21:4 says, “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more,neither will mourning, nor outcry. nor pain be anymore, the former things have passed away." I hope that this brings your family a measure of solace during this difficult time. If you have more questions about the Bible and its promises, please feel free to contact me or visit JW.org

Condolence: Dear Kim,
I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what you are going through. I will always remember Jeff at the finish line after Nationals in Burlington. I had not been with the club that long, but the fact that I wore a KBTC kit was enough for him to give me a big, old sweaty hug of congratulations. His leadership and encouragement had a big effect on me during that time. Please know that I am thinking of you and your family.
