Dearest Wonder, I am here in Wonderland. This is where we built a foundation strong enough to endure the obliteration of death and the ecstasy of life: two sides of the same coin. I love you now, as I loved you then, and I will love you forever ..... and then ...... forever more. Your Angel.

Dearest Jacob,
It''s unbelievable that you left us 8 years ago. G_d called upon you, to join and help him. which of course you did. It was a huge, huge loss for your family,
ftiends, acquantancies, and all the people who were never lucky enough to
have known you. I was one of the lucky
ones.

So sorry I never acknowledged Jeffrey's passing. He was a great lawyer. Helped so many people. He took on my husband's case which was complicated and fought his case using the Loft Law. First they lost but then won on appeal. You have to admire someone who sticks it out to the end. He won the case. Thank God when my husband died in 1999 ....I had a place to live with my son. I still live here ....again ....thank God and thank Jeffrey. He also helped us with my husband's will even tho that wasn't his area of interest. He was a very kind person.

were. You were loved by so many people. I know you hear me and I can see that sweet
smile.

I am not much for words as Iam a photographer so my thing is pictures but her I go.
Mr Ween was a fighter for the rights of tenant. He saved me from being homeless in the mid 90s when my landlord try to evict me. Mr ween fought them tooth and nail. 20 years later I am still here.
The story is ask and told often.
He will not be forgotten.

saw Jeffrey (about eight years ago), he mellowed from his younger, feistier self and seemed happy and content with his life both professionally and personally. I am sending his loving family our deepest condolences.

Almost two months now since my wonderful husband passed away. I am still getting letters from family, friends and clients, whose lives he touched -- whose lives he changed. Jacob changed my life, too. I am so grateful for the years we spent together, but still can't fathom life without him. It seems impossible. I pray for his beautiful neshama -- that he may be resting in peace, floating in Love, and knowing how much he is loved and always will be.

If ever there were 2 people made for each other, it was Jacob and Bonnie. Like pieces of a puzzle, they fit perfectly in all aspects of their lives. Jacob was such a good man - loving, spiritual, strong, funny and protective. He loved my sister with his whole heart and soul, as was evident every time he looked at her. He protected her, made her strong in preparation to, if needed, move forward without him. He loved Bonnie unconditionally and forever, as she him. He was a person of kindness and warmth, with uncounted gifts yet to give. He will be greatly missed.

Jeffrey was a man of integrity, brilliance and strength and was by nature protective of those whom he loved and those he served tirelessly, with vigor and power. He has been a wonderful husband to my friend Bonnie loving her, cherishing her and protecting her. He has been truly loved in return and was generous in sharing this love with all of us. My deepest condolences to Bonnie, Michael and Nicole.

I want to thank all of your for your words in honor of my husband Jacob (Jeffrey). They are meaningful and have touched my heart.
Jacob has been my gift -- my adored husband -- for over 16 years. Our union was the interwhining of souls who were perfectly matched. We opened up for each other doors that had been closed. We tore down walls that had built up over time. We became as fearless in love as we were in other aspects of our lives. In the same way Jacob championed and fought so tirelessly for his clients -- he challenged himself -- to look deeply inside. He worked hard, eventually achieving complete and fundamental changes that removed many of the obstacles blocking the light of his beautiful and pure soul. By the time he was so shockingly felled, he had become whole.
Jacob taught me that love is built not only on the "extraordinary highs" -- but on the ordinary constancy of love that does not falter -- every second of every hour of every day. His love created a home for me -- a safe place in the world, for the first time in my life -- and allowed me to explore and soar creatively. He gave me strengh. He gave me an understanding of family that included the words "responsibility" and "obligation". He made me happy.
I know that my darling Jacob's soul has ascended to the upper worlds, surrounded by the Light of Gd's Mercy and Compassion. Yet, his death is incomprehensible. Imagining life without him, unbearable. I pray that in time I will be able to help his beautiful sweet neshama ascend into the higher spheres by the honor I will do for him here on earth -- in this physical plane. Until then, I can't stop the tears.

He was an tireless worker for the better good — the angel of loft tenants rights. I was involved in the early loft tenants movement in '81 or so, and Jeffrey represented our building amazingly well for at least 10 yeas, maybe more, until I left town. Bless you Jeffrey.

Jeffrey was a brilliant legal defender of our rights as loft tenants. He fought for our building's tenant association for over ten years. The fight resulted in a victory for us, and leases as rent stabilized apartment dwellers -- a cherished prize for working families in New York City. To us, he is legendary. We will miss him and we will always remember him.

There are no real words to describe how heartbroken I feel at the loss of Jeff. He has been the legal advocate for myself and my fellow loft tenants since the late 70's, and I feel as though we grew up together. He yelled at me when I screwed up, and held my hand when I cried. I know that Michael will hold up the legal torch with the same great passion, so I worry not of my legal affairs. But I am devasted for the loss of my friend. Much love to his entire family.

JEFFREY WAS NOT ONLY A BRILLIANT AND
SUCCESSFUL ATTORNEY, HE WAS A GENTLE
AND KIND SOUL. HE WILL BE MISSED BY THOSE THAT WERE LUCKY TO HAVE HAD HIM

Jeffrey was unique...a wily strategist, devout Judaist, loaded with integrity and 100% our champion. Because he saved our Chambers St place, I was able to jump start my career as an artist. There could never be another. We are all poorer from his passing. Dianne Talan & Dean Aronson

Incredibly saddened to hear of Jeffrey's passing. He was a giant in our world -- roundly respected for his intelligence, creativity and passion. He has left a void that will not be filled.

Jeffrey was a brilliant lawyer who represents us for many years in protecting our rights as loft tenants and artists. He was extraordinary in so many ways and had many exceptional gifts. We are finding it difficult to realize that he is gone and no longer there for us. We have lost someone special. Our sympathies are extended to his family and many other friends who have known him.

Very sorry to hear of his passing on. I worked for Jeffrey for 5 years, and my heart goes out to Bonnie, Michael and Nicole.

Jeffrey was a staunch ally in our struggle to stay in our spaces. He prepped me for grilling by the landlord's intimidating lawyer by saying,"Truth is the cliff. Don't go beyond it." He will be dearly missed by many of us tenants. Condolences to his family.
January 2, 2014
I want to express my condolences to Bonnie and Michael Kozek. I am totally devastated by this - as I truly loved Jacob so very much and to hear this, truly breaks my heart. I will, forever, cherish my memory of him.
With much love and sorrow.

I am so very sorry to hear of Mr. Jeffrey Ween's passing on. I am a tenant at 135 Plymouth Street and have had many occasions to speak with him, albeit most briefly. He was such a gentleman, and I am most sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Mary Gillette

We want to express our condolences to his family, colleagues and friends. He has been taken from us far too young. We are devastated by his loss and can only imagine how those close to him feel. He made such a major difference to our lives. We don't know what we would have done without him handling our case. He was an amazing fighter. We wish that you can carry on his legacy. He will be missed.
With affection, Marilyn Bucher and Robert Wattenbarker
