Jeffrey William Wahl, age 61, of East Helena, Montana passed away peacefully on December 3rd surrounded by his loving family. He owned and operated Glass Plus Services, a very successful business with a large client base that spread across the state of Montana. When he wasn’t immersed in his work, Jeff found himself playing in the great outdoors. His passion for hunting, fishing, rock hounding, and discovering fossils was endless, and usually done with family or friends. Jeff always made sure that anyone that came to Montana got the full Montana experience. He truly considered the entire state his playground. Jeff always made sure his many nieces and nephews went home with a Big Sky Country treasure discovered by their uncle. He was a devoted son, brother, uncle, and friend, always there to entertain, lend a helping hand, or just smile and start a conversation without hesitation. Jeff’s good nature truly affected people and made their day better. He will be deeply missed by many.

I am saddened to hear of Jeff’s passing but take comfort in knowing that he is now at peace. I did not know Jeff well, but had done business with him for years. He was always a pleasure to work with and his work ethic was unparalleled. I was especially touched by his amazing attitude throughout his illness. He always had a smile and a kind word and faced his challenges with the utmost grace. My condolences to his family and friends.

Jeff was our window washer extraordinarie for many years. He was an excellent businessman and was a great mentor to the young men who worked with him. We looked forward to our visits with him when he talked about his Mom, his many outdoor activities and his love of dogs. He was very proud of his sister’s photography and used her photos for his business mailings. He was a cheerful and positive man who was dealt a most unfortunate health crisis. We will miss this good man very much!

We recently became aware that Jeff has passed. We offer our sincere sympathy to Jeff’s family. Jeff handled our windows for the past 15 + years and was always such a hard worker and a delight to visit with. We knew he struggled with his health and we were continually amazed at what he was going through, yet he continued to work and provide professional, quality service. We are happy he is no longer suffering, but he will be greatly missed by many. Peace to Jeff and his family.
