To Jeff's family,
I met Jeff at the NRC about 20 years ago. We often had lunch and I had the pleasure of being gifted with several of Jeff's colorful "women series" illustrations. A number of years ago, I also purchased from Jeff a wonderful photograph he took of Times Square which hangs near my front door. At my NRC retirement reception last Sept. Jeff gave a spontaneous talk which was so thoughtful. Jeff and I had lunch a few weeks before he passed away at PF Changs. It was a typical conversation with Jeff. We talked about movies we had recently seen and art exhibits we attended,(Jeff always saw alot more than me)his planned trips, and his family. He always asked me about my husband, children, and grandson. Jeff called me the Saturday before he died and we had a brief conversation but he sounded great. I told him I would call him after I returned from vacation in a couple of weeks. What a shock to learn of his death and I was so sorry to miss his funeral service and to meet you all. He will always be part of my memories of my years at the NRC and I'm happy that we continued our friendship post-NRC. Finally, when I think of Jeff these words come to mind: friendly, sensitive, artistic, and courageous.
with my deepest sympathies,

The large turnout of NRC staff, along with so many other individuals, at Jeff's funeral, and the remarks of the speakers eulogizing Jeff in all his uniqueness, paid tribute to the inspirational person that Jeff was, in the way he lived his life. In addition to the other ways people have mentioned, he was also an enthusiastic participant in exercise at the NRC Fitness Center, where he and I would exchange jokes and information. The way Jeff fought to cope with life set a powerful example for me. Thank you, Jeff, for sharing yourself with me.

I didn't know Jeff personally but often would see him walking from the Metro station. He seemed to be a very dedicated employee and very well liked.
To the Wolman family, I'm so sorry for your loss. God is taking real good care of him now. I will keep you in my prayers.

We were very saddened to hear the news about Jeffrey's passing. It tickled him to know that I rode a motorcycle and he would laugh and shake his head each time we ran into each other; we shared information about movies, as well. We will always remember our co-worker as a very friendly, outgoing and talented man. May he live on forever in our memories.

I have known Jeff from my very first days with the NRC some 25+ years ago. We loved to talk about New York and all the great things the City had to offer. I will miss Jeff, the love and friendship he spread across the Agency as he supported NRC's mission.

Jeff, it's been over 40 yrs ago when we first met at the Willste Bldg in Silver Spring, MD. You will always live in the hearts of all who have known you, as you were a good friend. I cherish your artwork that I have and remember your excitement each time you created a new artwork, even the designs on the stockings that I wore! I was honored when you invited me to attend your art display years ago at a restaurant in Bethesda to see everything I saw created all in one room. I always enjoyed our times at the movies and dinner....until we meet again my friend,

Jeff's death is a real shock, and my deepest sympathy goes to his loving family. Jeff was a uniquely warm and intuitive person who lived with real passion. Three days before his death, he sent me a beautiful picture from his Paris trip with this message, "hi vicky how is your new job going do you like it i am good going to the big apple in two weeks can/t wait i am going to see 1 musical and 5 art show one is a matisse show...." This is very comforting to read - capturing Jeff's ability to live life to the fullest for as long as it lasts. He will be sorely missed.

My deepest sympathy to Jeff's family and many friends. I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of such a true and loving friend. I've known Jeff since my start here at the NRC (September 1981). Jeff has been my friend from the first day we met. He was such an inspiration to me and many others. He taught me that you can basically do anything you put your mind to, regardless of any challenges. I loved hearing about his new adventures, his photography, trips, paintings, concerts, stockings, dates, letters to famous people and the responses he got back, etc. My first and only trip to the White House was due to Jeff's invitation. He was such a delight. I remember when he first started taking his photography seriously and asked me to be one of his subjects. What a pleasure! The pictures were great. He had such passion about the people he loved, his family, friends, and co-workers. And oh, what a contagious laugh. Sometimes we would laugh so hard, we would have tears streaming down our faces and couldn't talk. I'll miss his smile, laugh, calls, lunches, and talks. I've never quite met anyone like Jeff. He will always hold a special place in my heart.

My deepest sympathy to Jeff's family. I am deeply saddened and still in shock over the passing of my dear friend, Jeff. He has been a true and loving friend for 30+ years. I met Jeff at the NRC when he was the "mail boy" delivering our office mail. We have remained great friends over the many years. Jeff loved art, photography, music, travel, and his friends! He had such a kind and loving heart and I hope he knows how much he was loved by his many friends and will be greatly missed. He lived life to the fullest and it was too soon for him to go. I will miss you my friend. You will never be forgotten.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Wolman family. Jeff recently set up a small dinner party at a friends house to reunite some old co-workers with current co-workers at NRC. I am so grateful I got to see and talk to him about his photography, art, and travels. I have a beautiful picture of a butterfly he sent me for my classroom. I will cherish if and remember fondly the person that Jeff was.

Jeff was a great friend and a devoted member of our family. He lived life to the fullest and always saw the good in people. I will always treasure the time we spent together and the artwork he generously gave to me.

I want to extend my deepest sympathies to Jeff's family during this difficult time. Jeff was such a good friend. I worked with him at NRC for 2 years. We shared the same passion for art and photography. He was truly a special person who always had a kind word say. I will miss his smiles, notes of encouragement and honesty. Jeff touched many people at the NRC and he will be sorely missed.
I have attached one of Jeff's illustrations that he asked my to digitize for him.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Jeff Wolman. I was lucky to have just attended a small group dinner coordinated by Jeff. I worked with him years ago and it was wonderful hearing about his travels, photography and how things have changed at NRC. I am glad to have known and worked with Jeff at the NRC. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathies to Jeff's family. I was deeply saddened to learn of Jeff's passing. He was a kind, gentle and giving soul and will be missed. I had the pleasure of meeting Jeff's mother and other members of his family when he invited me and Sharon Stewart to join his family's tour of the White House. I am so glad I had the opportunity to spend that time with him and his family. I was one of Jeff's former managers at the NRC.

Jeff....You were my buddy and my friend. You brought such joy to my life. I always enjoyed our trips to the museums, concerts, our meals together and our heart to heart talks. You shared your pictures with pride and they truly were unique and masterful...you saw beauty in life. You made me feel special (you would greet me with "hello beautiful") but in reality....you were the beautiful one, you had a heart of gold. I hope you know how many people's lives you touched, how many people loved you and how much you were and are forever in my heart! I miss you!

It is much much sadness that I write in this guest book. Hearing the news of Jeff's passing was quite a shocker. I can hardly imagine the devastation his family is feeling. Jeff was one of those truly gracious people who engaged everyone with his great smile and warm heart. I fondly remember Jeff playing out side my building at Summit Hills with his good friend Marc Silver. Both were the kindest people anyone would want to know. Marc passed away a few years ago and I would like to think that perhaps these two pals are hanging out again. Jeff was instrumental in bringing the "Summit Hills Kids" together last January. Thanks to Jeff many of us have renewed old friendships. Since then I have enjoyed the occasional emails and photos Jeff sent me. He was sure that "this time" everyone would stay in touch. I can only hope that the memories of this kind and gracious man will enable his family to live with their very sad loss. I believe that down the road when the "Summit Hills Kids" have another get together Jeff will be there...in our minds and hearts. My most heartfelt sympathy goes out to his loved ones.

Jeff Wolman was a dear friend from my first days at NRC in 1985. He had a strange way of honosty that tugged at your heart when you got to know him. He was very thoughtful, always gave the women at the office cards for Christmas or Mothers Day and Birthdays. He would give people his Pictures or post cards from his trips. I love to here him talk about the museums and the concerts he had been to. My twin siter and I and three other dear friends recently got to spend the evening at a friends house sharing old time from the NRC and catching up on life outside of work.

Jeff, you are my forever friend, and I thank God for you in my life. You have said "Where would I be without my friends like you" - I only hope you know how important your friendship has been to me and how much I have counted on it. Thank you for the many years of loving concern and support. Thank you for being so much fun and getting us out to movies, dinners, and Wolf Trap concerts. Thank you for sharing your talents - your art and your photography. I miss you my friend, rest in peace.

Jeff was a lovely guy. I have happy memories of our helping a friend move many years ago when I was new to NRC. Years later, I was having a coffee at an outdoor cafe in London and ran into Jeff. We laughed about the coincidence for years. Rest in Peace Jeff.

My thoughts are prayers go out to his family and all those who loved and cared for him. I did not know him personally, but as a NRC employee, I was very sad to hear of his passing. Over the last 24hrs I have heard nothing but fun loving, positive stories from fellow NRC employees who knew him. He will be missed by so many at NRC.

I met Jeff only a couple years ago. He regularly came up to pick up a copy of the day's newspapers. At that time, I discovered what a talented artist and photographer he was. I just saw Jeff in the hallway at work last week and he, as always, was so upbeat about what he was doing and where he had traveled to recently. He was a great guy and we will surely miss him.

I have known Jeff for 50 years. Over the years we went our separate ways until the Summit Hill reunion in January of this year. Since then we started a monthly poker game. We also started emailing each other pictures we have taken. Jeff and I both shared a love of photography. Some times Jeff played and sometimes he just came to eat with us and be with friends. This is a sad day, but I am very happy we all had a chance to reconnect. I believe Jeff looked forward to our games, and now I don't have to think I wish I had.........

I have known Jeff the entire time he has been with the NRC. We would get together periodically for lunch and he would update me on his latest travel trips and tell me about the most recent art exhibits that he had been able to view. He'd also show me pictures of any new art pieces that he had created. Jeff always seemed to have something interesting going on in his life.
