Jeffrey Amdur Obituary

Jeffrey Ira Amdur, of Pikesville, Maryland, passed away on Friday, September 27th, 2024, at the age of 74. He is survived by his devoted sister, Marlene Amdur-Ferguson (Walter Ferguson); his cousin, Alan Rosenthal; and also survived by countless friends. He was predeceased by his loving parents, Clarence and Lillian Amdur.

Jeff was a true renaissance man, teaching and speaking three foreign languages-French, Spanish, and some German-over his 30-year career in Anne Arundel County. For the last 20 years, he served as a part-time teacher and Assistant Librarian at Beth Tfiloh Dahan High School. A passionate sports enthusiast, Jeff cheered for the Orioles, Ravens, and Colts, and was a devoted superfan of the Baltimore Clippers and Skipjacks AHL teams. He was well-known at his schools for his basketball game announcing and scorekeeping, and he is deeply missed for his contributions in that role. Additionally, Jeff had a great love for professional wrestling, effortlessly bridging conversations between Baudelaire and Rowdy Roddy Piper. Above all, he was the best big brother a girl could wish for. May his memory be a blessing always.

Services at Sol Levinson's Chapel, 8900 Reisterstown Road, Pikesville, MD 21208, on Monday, September 30th, 2024, at 11 am. Interment Arlington Chizuk Amuno Cemetery. Please omit flowers. Contributions in his memory may be sent to Chevrei Tzedek Congregation, online at chevreitzedek.org, or to American Cancer Society, online at cancer.org.

As a young and newly minted teacher in Anne Arundel County, Mr. Amdur was my French teacher at Lindale Junior High School. I graduated from High School 47 years ago (1977) and have always fondly remembered the lessons and experiences he taught those of us fortunate enough to be his students. Across the chasm of the decades, his lessons live on in the lives of grateful students. I am fortunate to have been one of them. Thank you and God Bless you Mr. Amdur.
