My thoughts and prayers go out to the family . Mr.Trefurt will be greatly missed and never forgotten by many . There are not many people out in this world that would have done the things that he did to change so many lives being a amazing role model ,treating every child that was in #8 like his own and making so many adults better people today because of the things he done . May you Rest In Peace and may his family always know that he was an amazing man and he will never be forgotten by many ..

I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of a wonderful man and the best principle one can have Mr Trefurt. He was a wonderful man who cared about the school and students and he always did what he thought was best for everyone. Mr. Trefurt was my Principle in Class of "85" but also was a great friend to mother and took my sister and me under his wing. He help us the most when we needed it. He will always be remembered and in my heart always. May Mr. Trefurt rest in Peace and may his family...

In the journey of life some people leave a mark so deep that it becomes hard to forget them. May you find peace and love in the memories you cherish. With heartfelt condolences. Gone from our sight but never from our memories or our hearts. Mr. Trefurt shall be greatly missed. ~Michele Bavosa (Public School #8, former student)

I had Mr. Trefurt for only 1 graduate course at NJCU and can honestly say it was one of the luckiest experiences in my life. It is very sad to hear of his passing away. He was truly a great person with a sincere caring heart.
