Not sure what to say?

Many years after Jeff´s passing we are privileged to still have a friendship and relationship with Jeff´s family. What a treat to see how his children have been affected by Jeff and Linda´s influence. We miss him dearly. The Sullivans of Harbert, Michigan.

Dear Family and friends of Jeff,

I learned of Jeff's passing the day of his service and wasn't able to attend.

We both worked at WIND Radio at different times years ago, and I got to know Jeff shortly after. We kept in touch all these years, seeing each other often at the Trib Tower where we both worked, and I had an opportunity to do a couple of projects for him at IIT last fall. We got together for lunches around that time and talked about all the things we wanted to...

Dear Linda and Anika,

I just learned of Jeff's passing last night at the fundraiser I hosted in memory of Keegan (which marked 2 years yesterday). I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear this news. I know how difficult the loss of someone you love can be, as I struggle through each day without Keegan.

Your family was an important part of Keegan's early life and I will never forget that. I will always have fond memories of Jeff.

Our Deepest Sympathy,

Jeff and Alek at Max and Sash's wedding, July 25, 2009. A happy day for all.

Thanks to Jeff, Eli's Cheesecake had the opportunity to participate in the 150th Anniversary of the Chicago Tribune.

Through his energy, enthusiasm and vision, Jeff created a spectacular event for the Tribune and Chicago.

Jeff had that special spark and work with him

All of us at Eli's Cheesecake mourn his loss.

I have been out of town since 6/23 and just learned of Jeff's passing. I am deeply saddened and wanted to extend my condolences to Linda and the family. I knew Jeff for two decades (and we even discussed starting a firm together in the early 1990s). He mentored me while we served together on the PCC Board. I never had a chance to tell him how much he meant to me. He always had a smile on his face, even in times of adversity. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

MY PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU AT THIS TIME . REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES YOU ALL HAD TOGETHER.

SINCERELY

Dear Bierig Families,
I was so saddened to hear about Jeff succumbing to his very long battle.
We grew up together on the Southside...grammar school, hebrew school, carpools, etc..
He was a great kid, good friend and kind-hearted soul, and although we lost touch, he touched my life as it seems he did many others.
May all of your fond memories of Jeffrey help you through these difficult days.

I was out of town until yesterday and saw the obit in the Tribune. My deepest condolences to the family. I worked with Jeff at Martin Janis and recall that he was a consummate professional and a really, really great guy with a good sense of humor. Although we lost touch over the years I believe that if there had been any need for advice or suggestions, Jeff would have been more than happy to share. My deepest condolences to the entire family and to all his friends and associates.
