In addition to operating the Bogey, he was known throughout the city’s food scene as a renovator and remodeler. Through his company Imperial Renovations & Designs, Parenteau remodeled and refurbished many prominent Columbus restaurants and bars.

Other Columbus eateries that Parenteau impacted, such as the Short North’s Urban Chophouse, reacted to his death. “Jeff was a beloved member of the One Hospitality family and the owner of the Bogey Inn in Dublin,” a post to the restaurant’s Instagram account reads.
