Jeffrey and his wife, Linda, were friends for 31 years and married almost 22 years. His memorial will be in Bangor, Maine on 17 July 2021 at the Hammond Street Congretional Church, 28 High St, Bangor ME. Jeffrey was a cadet in CS40, US Air Force Academy, who was injured in a diving accident in 1974 and medically discharged. Despite not graduating with his beloved Class of 1975, he will forever be recognized as a member of the Class! Obit from Bangor Daily News (published 18 May 2021): ORONO - Jeffrey "Jeff" Lee Edgecomb died at the West Roxbury Veterans Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, on April 14, 2021, with his loving wife, Linda, by his side after he bravely battled infection for weeks. Jeff was born on October 13, 1953, in Bangor, to Mary (Ranney) and Walter Edgecomb. He graduated from Hermon High School, class of 1971, and then joined the United States Air Force Academy in July 1971, class of 1975, 40th squadron until October 1974, when he was medically honorably discharged after being injured in a diving accident that summer. He graduated with a Doctorate in Philosophy (Psychology) from the University of Maine at Orono, where he worked in research of Behavioral Neuroscience in the Psychology Department at Little Hall, where he worked alongside Dr. Merrill Elias and Dr. Mike Robbins. Dr. Edgecomb's Thesis is Individual Differences in Lateralized Visual Pattern Perception: An Investigation Functional Specialization In The Cerebral Hemispheres. Jeff served his country with the highest of honor, courage, and dedication. He was born with wings and loved the beauty of flight, especially the British warplane, the Submarine Spitfire. He so loved the roaring pitch of that engine. Jeff loved sharing about his special times at the Air Force Academy with his fellow cadets, his dear friends there, and also his classmates and dear friends from Hermon High School. Jeff loved family and friends' dinners, chatting with coffee and pie. He was a brilliant pilot, scientist, mathematician, writer, photographer, cook, chess player, engineer, inventor and above all, the dearest of friend and the most loving husband. In Bangor, he so enjoyed flying his piper Cherokee for a few years and spending the most beautiful time at Godfrey Field with his darling Linda "Linny" and playing frisbee with their cherished collie dog, Skiffie. Jeff's mischievous laugh, his handsome blue-eyed smile would always light up a room and warm everyone's hearts along with his most gentle voice, soul, and touch. "I have found the one whom my soul loves. Many rivers cannot quench love, rivers cannot wash it away."
