Oh Wendy! Im so sorry. Ive been trying to reach him! Ugh. Im crushed! We loved him so much! He was such a great friend and person. Prayers and condolences to your family!

I was employee of Jeff´s and after so many years of working at Chernaik Ins, everyone there became family. Jeff was an absolutely amazing boss -the best boss anyone could have. After 20 years of working there, I moved on but we always stayed in contact and we would go out for lunch to catch up. He was an amazing person and I will truly miss him. So many memories to cherish. Rest in Peace Jeff, Love you.

Jeff was one of my best friends for nearly my entire life. We met in kindergarten at Washington School in Springfield in 1957. We both moved to Longmeadow in 1961, he one street away from me. He was kind, gentle, smart, honest, hardworking. We went to the 1986 World Series at Fenway Park together. I moved to southern Connecticut 23 years ago, so I didn't see him much in recent years. I am very sad to read he is gone.

To the Chernaik family, I got to know Jeff while walking the beat many years ago. I would stop in and visit with him and the employees. He always appreciated the check on his business and workers. I was sorry to hear of his passing, prayers are with you all.

My condolences to the Chernaik family and the Chernaik agency crew. I was blessed to work for Jeff for a few years and hold great memories in my heart. As a new Mom he never said no to my schedule needs and valued my experience in the field. We shared many meals, and I met his lovely parents whom he adored. We kept in touch after my departure from the business however I could walk into that agency at anytime and catch up with an old friend. I´m grateful for the friendship and will absolutely...
