Jeffrey Lin Obituary
Middletown - Jeffrey Stanley Lin, 70, of Middletown, NJ, passed away at Riverview Medical Center on April 23, 2020 due to COVID-19 complications. He was born in Jersey City, NJ, and spent his youth in Matawan, NJ. He attended college in CA and MD, eventually settling down and raising a family in Middletown, NJ.
Jeffrey was a devoted husband and caring father. He was extremely proud of his family and loved being a "Gung Gung" to his toddler grandson. Jeffrey was a kind-hearted man who tried to make everyone around him laugh and be at-ease. He appreciated spending time among family and friends, was always eager to help those he cared about, and enjoyed sharing stories and anecdotes.
Jeffrey is survived by his wife of 40 years, Carol Lee Lin; his daughters, Stephanie Lin Fischer (husband Sean Fischer) and Victoria Lin; and his grandson, Maximilian Fischer. Jeffrey is also survived by his sister, Patricia Peter (husband Roger Peter); a niece, two nephews, and their respective families. Jeffrey was a loyal friend and a dedicated employee who spent his career in sales and purchasing logistics.
Circumstances require the funeral to be privately held and a memorial celebration to honor Jeffrey's life will be planned at a later date.
Arrangements under the direction of John F. Pfleger Funeral Home.

My heart goes out to the Lin family. Mr. and Mrs. Lin would bring their dog, Biscuit, to see me for veterinary care. They were always so pleasant and easy going. It is with great sadness to hear of Mr. Lin's passing.

Jeff was a thoughtful and kind guy with a great sense of humor and spirit of mischief. The source of his profound happiness was absolutely his love of his family, Carol, Stephanie and Victoria. He was fiercely protective, but more remarkable was his deep and unwavering pride in each of them. He did not tell you about each of their many achievements to be boastful or brag, but because everything they did truly made him so happy. Especially now, after caring so attentively for him, you each have continued to give him such pride despite your overwhelming grief. Carol, you are fighting the greatest fight to recover from this so you can return to being the fantastic mother that you have always been. Stephanie, you continue to help manage the affairs and arrangements while caring for your child and maintaining a full time job. Victoria, you have been extraordinary and handled work, school, your own COVID-19 fight, caring for your parents while they were still home, working with your sister to also manage the affairs and arrangements and working with Governors office to coordinate and prepare such a moving tribute that surely had Jeff beaming with pride.
You are an amazing family, and will undoubtedly be a continued source of pride and joy to Jeff.

My deepest condolences to Carol, Steph & Victoria. I worked with Jeff at EMD in Gibbstown. Jeff was such a hard worker & funny guy. He talked about you often. I remember how he talked of his Mom when she was ill. I remember Jeff telling me about buying the cooked lobsters from ShopRite. Whenever we have lobster I think of Jeff. We shared photos of our dogs, including Mia. I was so happy for your family when I saw the photos of your trip to China. I am sorry for your loss

I am so sorry to learn about Jeffrey. I worked with him at Perma Pure in 2015. I worked there in a temporary capacity and only for a short period of time, but Jeffrey made an impact and I so enjoyed working with him. He was a kind, generous, and all-around wonderful man. He loved his family and loved to share stories about them. Deepest condolences to all his loved ones. God bless you, Jeffrey.
