I’m very sorry to learn of this. He’s a funny guy and is very active online usually. I love his writing.

He must be devastated. Poor guy.

my dear friends,

it is with great sadness that I must share the terrible news that Claudia Long, my wife for the past 41 years and the love of my life for the past 46, passed away peacefully in her sleep this morning.

I am in shock right now and I am numb.

thank you all for hanging in there with me. I’ll be back to writing in a few days.

I'm sending all my Love, and hope that he can find a way to navigate his grief and find some comfort.

widow or widower after decades together. I know how awful it is. Poor guy.

41. My condolences to Jeff and his family

His writings are so funny and inspiring! I would guess his wife was one of his influences in his great writing !

[Soul_of_Wit]

46. Jeff always made a point to give her credit

Things like "full credit to Mrs. Spouse for the idea for today's post." He would also playfully ignore her when she pleaded for him to use the Secretary of "War" hitting himself in the cajónes with a skateboard GIF less often.

[niyad]

45. Yes, I posted about it as well.

[philly_bob]

48. Sorry to hear that. /nt

54. Jeff Tiedrich is a national treasure. I start my day with his Substack column and knew something was wrong

when it came late. He also owns Crooks & Liars, another go-to site for my news. So damn sad. He really loved Mrs. Spouse.
