I and many of our Hillsdale friends met Jeff when his family moved from Teaneck to our neighborhood, during our high school years. We have remained friends over these many years and enjoyed a lot of shore houses, bars, Giants games and plenty of fun activities. Jeff really liked to have a good time and will be missed by all of us. RIP Jeff!

I have very fond memories of Jeff in the "EARLY DAYS" while living in Teaneck, before Mr. and Mrs. Gerson moved up to Hillsdale... For a time Jeff helped us out with the landscaping in Teaneck and rest assured, Jeff and I always had a lot of deep laughs, some 50+ years ago... Our thoughts go out to the Gerson Family at this sad time... Jeff, I will always love you. To David and Sophie..know you are in our thoughts.

So sorry for the loss. Jeff and I and the "gang" shared shorehouses together for many many years. So many memories. RIP Jeff.
