To the Krauthamers,
I am an ex-employee of Krauthamer & Stahl--I worked for the Firm during the "slow-speed chase" involving OJ Simpson, and all of the ensuing drama. Today, April 11, 2024, we lost OJ to the devastating effects of prostate cancer. I immediately thought of calling Jeffrey Krauthamer. Jeffrey and I, along with my (late) husband Burt, were on the phone, for hours, on that infamous day, discussing with excitement and horror, at the same time, the events occurring in the Freeway in Southern California on that day. I wanted to call Jeffrey, after these many, many years, to say how I recall sharing that experience with him. I remember sharing Jeffrey´s thoughts and emotions of the day, and feeling the connection we had established both during my employ with Krauthamer & Stahl, and on that fateful day/evening in June, 1993, I believe it was. Sadly, in Googling Jeffrey to try to obtain current contact information for him---I instead found his Obituary. I am saddened and profoundly shocked at this loss. I respected Jeffrey´s courage, lovely demeanor and his awesome spirit, despite the unfair life circumstance he was given as a child. I remember his smile, his office assistance, and his care and concerns for all in his family and in his office life. I am truly sorry for this loss. May Jeffrey rest in the same peace and comfort he brought with him to our world. Sincerely, Barbara Dietch

May Jeffrey's memory be a blessing. I always enjoyed seeing him in the office when I stopped by or had an appointment. It won't be the same being there without him. So sorry. Jacky

I enjoyed being friends with Jeffrey all the years we were next door neighbors at 5530 Wisconsin. I am grateful to have known him and accompanied him part of the way as he made The Hero´s Journey. We were all blessed to know him and will remain inspired by his life.

Jeffrey was a treasure. A fixture in the Chevy Chase Building, everyone knew Jeffrey. An asset to his dad; Jeffrey was the pulse of the office. Jeffrey and I shared many wonderful conversations, reminiscing in regards to the tenants who had long gone from the building. I remained in close contact with Jeffrey after I retired from the Chevy Chase Building Management. Jeffrey was a bright light a beautiful soul. I will miss him. My condolences to Harold, Joan and the family.
