Mr. Pierce taught me so much in his classes at ITT Technical Institute and I enjoyed talking to him about disc golf. He was one of the best teachers I have had. I am saddened to hear about his passing. Ms. Betty and family, you are in my prayers. Rest easy Mr. Pierce!!!

A few years ago I attended ITT Technical Institute where Jeff taught but I did not have him as a teacher. Instead we became friends by just talking in the hallways, he was a very intelligent and interesting character and we shared a lot of interests. I am praying for God's comfort for his family. Jeff you will be missed!
