Jeff was always happy and smiling.  He always spoke about his wife and daughter, you knew from how he spoke that they were the joy and lights of his life.  When his grandchildren came along you could not find a happier grandpa. The last time I spoke to him we talked about his grandkids and daughter and wife,  as I knew we would.  He loved God and also spoke about how fortunate we are to have a God who loved us and gave his life for us.  May God give his family His Peace and Comfort.

I met Jeff when I was a new believer in Jesus Christ on my first visit to Yokota Baptist Church.  From that moment he has made a lasting impression to me. 
He unashamedly loves Christ, andvHis work, He had energy, compassion, love for his family that was consistent by his words and life. 
Jeff and Ginnie shared their home and their hearts with many a single G. I. and beyond. 
I thank God upon every remembrance of you!  We will meet again! 

Mrs. Ginnie, 
We were deeply saddened about the news of your dearly beloved Mr. Jeff.  We enjoy the memories we shared with you and Mr. Jeff.  
It was never a dull moment. Our prayers are with you and your family. 
Love Lisa, Tim, and Tim II

My memory of Jeff is one who displayed hospitality. I believe his spiritual gift was hospitality. He loved to have me and many others in his home. Each time I visited him he had a recent story of someone who had just stayed in his home. I once heard a preacher say “Real biblical hospitality is making someone feel at home when you wish they were.” Although the preacher was trying to be funny, Jeff always made me feel at home. I believe it was his desire to make anyone feel at home when visiting him. You will be missed.

Malachi 3:6 I am the Lord, I change not.  I think all that knew Jeff would say he displayed this attribute of God.  Mark and I met Jeff and Ginnie at Yokota Baptist before we were married. They always opened their home to the singles for fellowships.  After his retirement he would invite our family to come stay at their home for a visit.  During the few times we visited he would ask about the church we were attending and check on how we were doing.  I was impressed by Jeff’s organizational skills and forward thinking.  He once explained how he designed a house he had built so that missionaries that he housed could have their privacy while living with them .  Most people would think only of themselves. Jeff had one of the biggest hearts of anyone I have ever known.  From the time I met him until his death, Jeff cared about people’s spiritual condition as well as their earthly. What a testimony he left behind. He will be greatly missed.

Ray and I are praying for the family. We love you all and hurt with you.....Thankful he is with Jesus enjoying his forever home....Big hugs Nana and Papa Holder.....

We are so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. We pray that you may find peace and comfort in the loving memories you have and share of your husband/father/grandfather. 

With love, 
Ryan, Julie, Nathan and Madison Miller

Mr. Goldstein,  thanks for the many laughs we shared during your visits to the BANK . Death is not final and I know you are with your Lord and Savior.  To the family I express my sincere condolences, my prayers are with you.

Jeff was my Christian brother and a very special friend.   I loved him very much.

My daughter Alaina and I went to church with the Goldsteins in Sacramento. We loved them and sorrowed with them when they lost theirson John not far from my home. Ginnie we pray for strength and comfort that only God can give and Jennifer as well, and peace in knowing father and son are together again. Thoughts and prayers are with you both and your family. Psalms 121.

Mr. Goldstein was an amazing person and client.  He  Always would make us laugh and smile every time he came in.  His visits to the bank will be deeply missed.  May God bless him and his family during this sad time.  You are in my thoughts and prayers always.

My greatest memories with Jeff were serving the Lord together at Yokota Baptist Church in Japan. As a young single man and new believer, Jeff adopted myself and others in his home. There was much fellowship and encouragement through Bible Studies and Training Courses on how to share the Gospel. There was always great food to eat as well, especially my favorite.. Lumpia. Jeff & Ginnie spared nothing and that same hospitality continued for years to countless missionaries including myself. Their home was always open! 
I suppose 2000 words is not enough for I could go on much longer. I will end by saying Brother Jeff had the gifts of helps & giving, and lived them to the fullest. Looking forward to our wonderful reunion in heaven!

Jeff was a kind, loyal person who cared about others. His good natured spirit, and genuine love of others was an inspiration. He was the kind of person who you were glad to know.
