Jeffrey was a colleague and friend. I am very sad to hear of his passing. His time with us was dedicated to make FIU a better place for "all" students.
May GOD bless his family and I too send peace and love to them.

Jeffrey was sunshine -- playful and impish (Jeffrey, is that a poodle in your bag!). He was also a brilliant educator and interdisciplinarian without peer. The sun is shining and beings who think inside boxes are quaking wherever he is now. I am honored to have known him and will miss him.

Dear Dina,
I'm so sorry to hear about Jeffrey. I so enjoyed visiting with you two in the summer of '08. I will always cherish that time we spent together. He can rest assured that I will never forget the both of you, your warmth, and your authenticity.
With my Deepest Sympathy,

Amazing man, most certainly supported by a wonderful, amazing family. My deepest sympathy. Impossible to know how many lives he touched - possible to know he truly made a difference. Bless you.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. Jeffery was an amazing colleague. He always brought a smile to people's faces from the colorful shoes and wardrobe he wore at conferences to his humorous insights. He had a positive impact on my life and will be dearly missed. You, your family, and his family at FIU are in my thoughts.
