Jeff is the alcoholic who worked with Pancho's father at Sears Auto Center. Jeff's dependency on vodka caused him to make many errors at work, but Pancho's father refused to turn him in to their superiors because he knew he had six children at home who would suffer if Jeff lost his job. One afternoon, Pancho's father helps Jeff under a car and Jeff slips, knocking the jack that holds up the car. Pancho's father is immediately crushed by the weight of the car and dies.
