In 1977, Jeff, his wife, Bernice, and their three young children immigrated to the United States.  Jeff worked as an attorney and developed a reputation for his integrity and high standards which allowed him many new and interesting opportunities. Jeff was an avid soccer fan, enjoyed tennis, and was a water skier in his early years.  He also enjoyed the theater.  Above all else, Jeff was a family-man.  Jeff was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who loved his family with all his heart.  He was a true man of decency and the personification of the word 'mensch'.   Jeff is predeceased by his parents, his brother, Arthur, and his son-in-law, Arie.
