Dear Robby,
Oh My God. Jeffrey is just a few years older than my daughter Melissa!!
I am so saddened by your loss. Gay Lynne has been searching the Internet looking for word of you, and your email address.
Not at all the way I wanted to hear about your current events.
I grieve your loss and the Universe's loss of this sweet Millennial.
Love,

I was so sorry to hear about Jeffrey. I only worked with him a few times at the Windy City Sweete, but he made quite an impression on me. He was a very nice, very sweet young man. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Dear Robert and Family,
I was so truly sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved son Jeffery. There are few words that I can express how heartfelt and sincere my condolences are to you all.
I know that his memory and spirit will soar above the heavens fueled from the love, dedication as a devoted father you have given him in life. I know that he was a unique and special person. I pray that your heathache can be somewhat lessened in knowing what a kind and wonderful father you are.
I have fond memories of you, Robert with Jeffery in the very early years with Sammy and I, Janice and Jenna. Again my prayers for you at this difficult time.

Dear Robert,
I worked with Jeffrey many years ago when he was studying to become a Bar Mitzvah. I remember him as a diligent student, with an intense appetite for life and fun. The two of you were a team. I'm sorry I didn't get to know the young man he became and I am so sad to hear of his untimely death. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Robert,
I was truly saddened to hear of Jeffery's passing.
As parents of Leigh Hansen, a classmate and friend of Jeffrey's, at the Lycee de Francais de Chicago, I remember him and how my daughter and wife often talked of him as a really smart and warm-hearted friend. We will miss him.

Robert,
I was extremely sad to hear about Jeffrey. He was a wonderful person, and I so enjoyed getting to know him as an adult (we met at CIS many years ago). I remember particularly a conversation we had about religion at an IHOP -of all places- as sophomores in high school. He always kept my mind hard at work!
I am so sorry for your loss. Please know, the service was beautiful. It reflected Jeffrey wonderfully.

I went to high school with Jeff and remember that he put together a terrific "Cookies Class" on Jewish culture and heritage. I really appreciated the time and effort that he put into it. I am so sorry for your loss.

Jeff was in my eighth grade English class at Parker, and he was a truly wonderful young man to teach and to know. I always appreciated his intellect, his integrity, his curiosity, and his sense of humor. I will miss him, as will so many others both in the Parker community and beyond it.

I was absolutely heart broken to hear of the loss of Jeffrey. I taught him for two years at Francis Parker, PreCalculus and Calculus, and he will always be a standout in my mind.

Robert,
It's been over a decade since you and Jeff welcomed me into your lives. He was one of my first friends at Parker and was always one of my closest. Jeff was such an intelligent and caring person; more so, perhaps, than even he realized. I cannot imagine the pain you are feeling right now; but I hope you know that Jeff had an intense impact on my life as well as many of our classmates. Jeff was wise beyond his years and he will be deeply, deeply missed. I miss him so much, but I know he will never truly be gone because we will never forget him. Robert, you and Jeff are forever in my thoughts and prayers.

Jeff was impossible to hold back. One year, he overslept an AP exam, and when he arrived, a huge chunk of time had already passed. Jeff didn't even seem worried. He sat down to the test like he had all the time in the world. He never permitted intolerance to go unremarked, and was always a force for fairness, thought, and heart. His death is a great loss to us all. His spirit persists.

Robert, words cannot express the depth of our sympathy and sorrow. You and your family are in our thoughts and in our hearts. We will always know and remember Jeffrey as the sweet and gentle friend to Zack, and cherish our memories of him with his friends at Francis Parker.
With love, Ellen and Larry Schor

O Offspring of dust! be not content with the ease of a passing day, and deprive not thyself of everlasting rest. Barter not the garden of eternal delight for the dust-heap of a mortal world. Up from thy prison ascend unto the glorious meads above, and from thy mortal cage wing thy flight unto the paradise of the placeless. Baha'u' llah
Rest in peace my freind, you will be missed in our heart.
