I am going to miss Jeff. He was my boss at Best Buy in Calumet City. I started a long time email correspondence with him when I bumped into him while he was working at Circuit City. The world has lost a great man.

Dear Kaplan Family, I am soo sorry to hear about Jeffs passing.
One of my earliest memories of Jeff was back in the early 80s, Jeff was a chaperone for our class field trip to Brookflied zoo, on the bus to the zoo Jeff taught me "cadillac whack" and "dodge"... what this WHAM. Good memories.

Susie and family, I am so sorry to hear about Jeff. I don't think you will remember me but I truly loved him and have so many fond memories of him at Highland Appliance. He was my mentor as well my friend. I'll never forget little David coming to visit in Lansing and sitting at my desk waiting for me to finish because Jeff taught him "the customers always come first". I learned more from Jeff than any other boss i ever had. Rest in Peace Jeff.

I extend my sympathy to the Kaplan familes. I was saddened seeing that Jeff has passed away. I worked for Jeff and Noel as a teenager and they were so very nice to work for. May Jeff be at peace and his family find comfort in knowing he was a very nice man.
