JAFFE--Elliot Stanley. The Board and Staff of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts mourn the loss of Elliot Jaffe, a dedicated member of our Board of Directors since 2012 and a Director Emeritus since 2022. Elliot helped transform the Lincoln Center campus with a remarkable gift to name the Jaffe Drive, now home to a summer performance space. He was a devoted and passionate advocate for education, and he provided valuable insights on the many board committees on which he served. We are deeply grateful for the tremendous legacy he leaves to Lincoln Center, and we extend our deepest sympathies to his family and friends. Steven R. Swartz, Chair; Henry Timms, President & CEO; Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts

I just learned today of Mr. Jaffe's death. I will ever be indebted to the Jaffe's for the award the first year of the Roslyn Jaffee award program in 2014 and the trips to New York to learn so many things. I am grateful to the Jaffes for their generosity to our world in so many ways. I send condolences to all his family members. The Coffee Connection has been in existence now for 23 years, with 13 years that I have been the executive director. We are still a unique institution serving women in recovery from addiction, trauma, and incarceration, by offering sober support, workforce development and employment. Thank you to the Jaffes for their suppor!

My heartfelt condolences to the Jaffe Family,
Elliot really was a true mensch. I recall fondly his big, kind and gentle personality from so many shared occasions related to his deep interest in improving life for those with food allergy. A businessman who gave me, a physician-scientist, excellent advice about food allergy research- how amazing is that? His, Roslyn, and the entire Jaffe family´s dedication to improving life for those with food allergy has and continues to make life safer and healthier for immeasurable numbers of children and adults on a global scale. May his memory be a blessing.

Elliot "(Jeff") was a consumate story teller. For many years he was a part-time resident of Sailfish Point Country Club in Stuart, Florida, where we were privileged to get to know him and his lovely wife Ros. His sonorous voice would captivate a dinner table and regale us with funny stories and commentary. We miss you.

Roz, My heartfelt condolences to you and your family on the loss of Elliot. I only know the both of you for a short time. Elliot has been one of my favorite people to share meals and conversations with at Waterstone. I will miss his wit and intelligence as well as his smile. His love for you was evident.
sincerely, Dianne Shinbaum

Elliot was the most important influence in my young working life. I worked for him at the Dress Barn store and warehouse, delivered the clothes to the other stores as they opened, and babysat their children. He was kind, generous and a true model of a man with integrity and caring about all who he employed and trusted. I will always be grateful. My deepest condolences to his lovely family.

Uncle Elliot was always a gregarious host at family get togethers. His smile and hearty laugh stand out in particular. What a life he led, and what an example of doing good in this world. A mensch in the truest sense. May his memory be a blessing.
