Not sure what to say?

:( I met Jeff frantically searching for an internship as I was wrapping up my PR degree from Rowan. He got me into KYW/CBS and for 6 months mentored me, shared many laughs at many lunches and showed me how to navigate people with empathy, understanding and taking into account perspectives I might not have otherwise-perfect lessons for life and a fairly long career in PR. I was looking Jeff up to thank him for the time he spent with me and the fine pen he gave me as a gift when I left...

Jeff and I were friends since he was 11 years old. I remember Jeff and his cousin, Stephen, coming on their bicycles to daily Mass at St. Stephen's parish in Pennsauken, NJ. Jeff never stopped going to daily Mass. I was a deacon then studying to become a Catholic priest. All through the years we grew in friendship. I am so proud of him. Jeff asked I give the sermon at this funeral Mass and I was so proud to do so. I know Jeff is in heaven with his Mom, Lucille and Grandpa, and all those who...

I had the honor and pleasure of working with Jeff at the AC Alliance. Never a dull moment and always laughs to be had when he didn't have his To Do list in hand. I'm saddened to hear of his passing, but my first thought was picturing him in a fabulous white suit, wings on his back and a big smile on his face. A comforting thought for me. Rest easy my friend, for one day we will meet again.

Remembering Jeff who showed us all the way to fly the Philadelphia flag. Rest in peace, may your light shine in Heaven.

Jeff deeply believed that diversity and inclusion was good for business every day of the year and not just during "month long celebrations". In 2020 Jeff and his team were awarded the Excelencia Hispanic Business Award at GPHCC's Alegria Ball for their efforts in marketing to Latino...

My condolences to all who love Jeff. He taught us how to be a true Ambassador for the City that we love.
