Could you say something nice considering how many years you worked with him you petty little man. Remember he did quit smoking more than a year beforehand. For you to use this forum to express your views on smoking when Jeff was just lost makes me so glad you are not my council member

Jeff will be missed. It was always great to run into him at functions or just on the street. Always with that smile, sense of humor and insight on some District matter. A genuine good guy!

Hundreds of Jeff’s friends filled the Foundry Methodist Church on Wednesday for a celebration of his life. Mayor Vince Gray spoke, as did Councilmembers Jack Evans and David Catania. Jeff’s brother spoke, representing the family, and Peter Rosenstein spoke for the gay activist community. Wayne Jennings’ singing of Ave Maria was breathtaking. The huge crowd was as diverse and wonderful as Jeff’s circle of friends and colleagues. It gave testimony as to what a gift Jeff’s life was to us, and how much he will be missed.

Jim, that is horrifying. You know, Jeff never liked you, and yet he always played nice. I never could understand how, or why. You are insensitive, borish, and so self-absorbed it boggles the mind.

Tom, you’re right. The tiniest councilmember, as Jeff always referred to him, must mean ABJECT lesson. Let his ugly commentary rest in obscurity, as surely he, himself, will.

That was rather cold and insensitive

Jeff was a great and smart and dedicated and funny guy who didn’t suffer fools easily.

In that spirit I add my tribute to his life and memory, so as to ensure that the fool’s comment directly above is not left to stand as the last word today.

I guess this is an object lesson in the perils of smoking. Quit now, and maybe stay alive.

I was shattered to hear this terrible news–Jeff and I went back to working on the Hill where we both worked for members of the NY delegation, to living on the Hill, where we would run into each other on the street, to doing politics on the same issues and causes, to being my go-to guy in sharon’s office and at abra–and on and on and on. kind, thoughtful, helpful, and very funny. there will be an absence where jeff got things done and helped the rest of us along the way.

Slight update on Jeff’s BIO…out of Cornell he worked for Rep. Matt McHugh until his retirementment when he then joined the Hinchey team.
