Not sure what to say?

To Sue and family, We just found out that Jeff died in November. Our deepest sympathy to all of you. Jeff was a great neighbor and always helpful; Drexel St has never been the same. We've missed you since you moved and now sorry to hear Jeff is gone without being able to say goodbye.

My condolences to the Krimski family. It was a pleasure to work with Jeff here at NFL Films. He was a true professional. His voice will live on with the many films he narrated over the years! I enjoyed our conversations post session. Rest in peace my friend.

I was so sorry to learn about Jeff. He was such a charming, kind person who loved his family very much.
Love, Martha Monson Farrell

Jeff didn't know me, but I knew him. I was one of those future radio guys who would fall asleep as a listening to far away stations on a 9-volt transistor radio. I often listened to Jeff on WBZ and learned from him. He made being on the air sound easy..the great ones always make it seem easy. Thanks Jeff and God, please comfort his family.

To the Krimski Family...There are no words to fully express how sorry I am for your loss or how grateful I am for the opportunity to have known Jeff & your wonderful family. My life changed the day Jeff gave me a job at KB and I will appreciate that for the rest of my life. I had a great phone conversation with Jeff a year or so ago and it was nice to find him in such good spirits despite the battle he was fighting. His strength came from all of you and he will live on in your memories.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I am so sorry for your loss. Anne, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers....

I worked with Jeff at WBZ in Boston during the summers of 1963 and 1964. I was a young technician, filling in for the summer, yet he treated me as a seasoned hand.

Jeff was prominent in the Folk Music Revival that swept the nation. He was generous with his time and talent, helping new musicians break into the business. Jeff took many of us from WBZ to the Newport Folk Festival and gave us front row center seating.

He and I often had lunch together and he would offer advice like...

Jeff was a man who embodied the definition of "class" in his work and as a man. If you had the privilege of working with him, you learned what it really means to be a professional, to bring talent and intelligence to every aspect of the profession. Generations of radio and television pros in New York and New England are better broadcasters and better people because they had the privilege of working with him and learning from his example and getting to know him as not just a colleague, but a...
