 I think of Jeffrey every day and miss him . May he Rest In Peace . 

Jeffrey and I went to SHS together. To say he wasn’t a popular kid was an understatement. He was the classic smart, fat kid with glasses. What a wonderful surprise to see him at our 30th reunion and see the wonderful man he became. He created an incredible video for us to view in the SHS auditorium showing various past and present facts about our school.  

Learning of his passing as we plan for our 35th reunion is tough to take. Reminds us all to breathe deeply and be grateful for that breath.

My deepest sympathy to family, friends and colleagues.


There are no words that can express how sad I am about losing Jeffrey. I am so very sad for our little team who has lost two family members in a fifteen months period. I am so very sad for Wanda, Colin, Harriet, and the rest of Jeff's family and friends. 

I hope that time will help us heal and that our memories of Jeff will eventually comfort us. The things I will remember most about Jeff are: his love for Wanda and Colin; his big smile; his jokes and laughter; his pranks; his smile and immediate response when I would ask him to do something: “yes ma’am”; his many accidents; his messy desk and many lost drill bits; and our frequent conversations about cycling, family vacations, exercise, and healthy eating. 

Jeff, we miss you so very much!

Some people are defined by their years as a high school student -  thankfully, Jeff was not! As a student, Jeff was pretty clear about how much he hated SHS. So, much to my surprise, it was shocking to see him working there. We talked about his love-hate relationship with SHS at that time. As we all know, pretty soon it was a love only place. Jeff loved his co-workers in AV and the students and staff. When setting up sound for the carnival, he gave me extra mics, batteries, and gently helped me understand what I had to do. Of course, knowing my limitations, he made sure either he or someone else would be available to help. Jeff was a unique man with a great smile, much patience, and plenty of love to share. 

Jeff was a big part of my time in the department. I'm deeply saddened to hear of his passing.  My sincere and heartfelt condolences to his family and the community.

You'll be missed but not forgotten!

There are some people that you meet in life who have a positive radiance about them, an infectious smile, a wonderful laugh and a warmth that is continually present. Jeff was one of those people. 

I remember on many occasions eating lunch in AV and hearing a “Fang!” from across the room. When I turned around I would see Jeff walking in with a smile on his face. I always felt comfortable talking with him, even if for a minute before class and remember how he made me feel comfortable and at ease. 

I also remember his laugh. What an infectious laugh he had, one of those that made you instantly smile. His ability to bring joy to others was contagious and something I won’t forget. 

Over the years although we didn’t always keep in touch I would see his posts on Facebook and saw how much love he had for his wife and family and how proud he was of his son. I know that he will be dearly missed and remembered as a great father, a great husband and a great friend.

Thank you for the great memories. 

I met Jeff when he was first started at Scarsdale. Our paths crossed often. I feel fortunate to have worked with him on a variety of projects: graduation, the school musical, concerts, assemblies, tech installations, video conferencing, board meetings, Jabberfest, and so much more.  In all of those events I was always greeted with humor, support and the sense that he was glad to see me, although he always addressed me as "Mr. Cuk". Truth be known, I was also happy to see him. Jeff was a good, kind hearted man who would do all he could to help, with a dollop of levity.

I am sad of his passing, sad for his family, and sad to lose a friend.


What a kind soul he was.  No matter how frantic people were with their tech issues, Jeff was so patient and had such a calming nature.  He was unbelievably quick to fix any tech issue I’ve ever had...and I’ve had a lot.  I will miss him.  He was a truly special and talented man. ❤️

The first time I met Jeff, it was as though I had always know him. He was there to fix something, or build something. He somehow knew I was a cyclist and started up a conversation about biking while we did our work. Whenever we would see each other, we would share stories about our outdoor adventures and our families. Talking with Jeff always made me feel special and appreciated, and I hope I made him feel that way too. 

Yet, as I read through the memories posted here, I realize Jeff made everyone feel that way.  What an incredible gift he had. Sure, he could fix and build things, but he chose to nurture people in a way that does seem, almost supernatural.  How lucky we all were to know him.

Wanda and Colin, we never met, but I know you were his true treasures- May he live well in your memories.

I am heartbroken.  
Jeff was always so pleasant whenever he had to visit Quaker Ridge for a repair on one of the machines.   I will surely miss him.

I am truly sorry for your loss.  Jeff was a pleasure to be around and he will be missed by his Scarsdale family.

My deepest sympathies. 

Cindy Parrott

Jeffery,
We have quite a bit in common, our love of cars and going to warm places. You always bring positive vibes to the office with your infectious laughs.

I’m sad and I will miss you dearly.


In the short time I knew Jeff, I was impressed with his humor and helpfulness. He was also incredibly patient with me- as the new guy I called him to many "tech emergencies." He arrived with a smile and got everything working in seconds. Yes, he will be missed for his expertise, problem-solving and everyday contributions to Scarsdale- but also truly missed for his spirit, kindness, and friendship.  Sending heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. 

I often had the pleasure of meeting Jeff on one of his walkabouts - sometimes passing in the halls, sometimes in the Music Tower, and sometimes in the parking lot of the A&P in Yorktown.  Jeff was a gentle, special and kind soul who will be greatly missed.  A family man to be sure, and I'm so glad our paths crossed on his brief but beautiful journey. 

I worked right above Jeff for years, and I relied on him whenever my smart board malfunctioned, and it malfunctioned a lot! Jeff was always in a good mood, always took my concerns seriously even if they were a bit dumb and always came right away, even if there were other stuff he probably had to do. I will miss Jeff. We had many small conversations over the years, and every one made me smile or laugh.

I will never forget how Jeff, would always find a way to take a situation and turn it into a joke.  He was always kind and upbeat, he took life seriously but not himself seriously.  He was always humble and compassionate for others, he would ask about my son and gave me encouragement that all things will work out.  Rest in peace my friend, your presence will be missed in the hallways of SHS.

My memory of Jeff was how he always helped the Scarsdale Baseball team set up the "sound system" at Dean Field.  He was reliable and could always be counted upon, providing his support to  Doc Scholl and the baseball Program.  Many thanks Jeff!

This man is my best friend and my brother. We shared and instant bond the moment he walked through the door some 17 years ago.  He had the ability to light up any room.  I watched him do it everyday.  Jeff had a gift that I now believe is God given. I would go as far as to say that this man was an angel.  There is a story behind my theory. 
At any point during the work day, Jeff would disappear. For a while we just assumed that get was getting his steps in for the day. He would track his steps daily on his Apple watch.  These little walks would become to be know as "walkabout".  Someone would ask "Where's Jeffrey"?  The answer would be "He's probably on walkabout".  Well in his recent absence from work, many would stop by to ask about him and to share their stories about him. Many of those stories involved Jeff stopping by their offices during the day. He would pop in and leave a kind word, often brightening their days.  
I now believe that Jeff was on a mission. He knew who needed a visit and when they needed it. He was our angel here. He was my best friend. I love him and will miss him dearly.  

So sorry for your loss.  Jeff was always such a kind helpful man.  I know his passing is a tremendous loss for all of us, especially his family.  Find comfort in the many memories you have.  We lost an angel way to soon.

God bless you!

Susan

Jeff was always so kind and helpful! If I had any problems with AV equipment he would come in 5 minutes with a smile and fix whatever was broken! A very positive person who made the work environment more joyful. I will miss him!

Jeff,
I will miss your smile and positive attitude about anything you did. You were my go to person for any technology needed for STI classes or me personally.  You were the best and most helpful person and I am going to miss our chats. May you rest in peace.
Fran

Kind, helpful, supportive, funny...I will miss you, Jeff.  Thank you for being a small part of my life.  

I knew Jeff in college. He was just a bit younger than me. But we fit together. It was no surprise that my mother knew and respected Tom. We spent all year together. He was one of the other peas in a pod . A group of us that all stayed together at campus during vacations and spent almost all our time together. Jeff was the anchor. He was fun loving ,and  inviting. He was willing to be made fun of , and be part of the craziest of times, yet he was also obviously smart, capable and had a maturity about him .  He struggled with his weight back then and looking back I can say he was searching to be loved and taken seriously. To find his right place.  I am glad to see he obviously did and was able to accomplish and love the way he did. He was the best of friends. 

I am so saddened to hear of Jeff's passing. What a wonderful man he was. I worked with him for many years at the high school before retiring. He was so helpful with his knowledge and positive attitude. His beautiful energy will be felt there for years!

Dear Wanda, Colin, Harriet,  Jenny, Dennis and Dash, 
We send deepest sympathy on the tragic news of Jeff's passing. We know you are all heartbroken,  that Jeff was so loved and this is the  most difficult to go through. 
I am not able to come to the funeral as my partner's 93 yr old mother has passed away in Atlanta,  we are heading there. But we are thinking of you all with such fondness, and remembering Jeff fishing away at Willow Lake, and so many times patiently helping Brooke and Dash get the hook on and the fish off. 
With love, Maureen,  Annie and Brooke. 

Heartbreaking to hear of Jeff’s passing. A kind, generous and good man,  he always had a smile and a cheerful greeting for everyone, and offered a helping hand to anyone who needed it. My sincerest condolences to Jeff’s family.  The world has lost a little of its  brightness today. 

Jeffrey,
As children the many weekends we shared as family with you and Jenny, traveling into the city, dinners with Grandma Gus, our stays at Chatham Crest. Oh and the beach! When the blowup boat we all were in swept us into the current, us pretending  not to be scared.   Although we weren’t close as adults we know we certainly lost a great man.  In our prayers,
Robin and Michael (Weber). 

I will miss Jeff’s smile and his love for his family and friends. Gone way too soon . Rest In Peace. 

Hola Titi Wanda y Colin. Lamento mucho la perdida de Jeff, el fue una gran persona conmigo y mi familia. Gracias por los momentos de diversión y de amor realmente todo quedó marcado en mi corazón. Se que es fuerte lo que estan pasando pero solo le pido a Dios que les de fuerzas para soportar esta perdida. Los amo mucho y extraño❤️😪 Nildita

Jeff was an old Purchase College pal of mine who I hadn't seen in 10 years before we coincidentally bumped into each other at a NYBASS.com fishing get-together in the late 90's. We looked at each other, astonished! "You're a member of NYBASS too?  What's your nickname?" It was awesome. 

Jeff loved his senko lures also! His nickname at NYBASS.com was "Baron Von Senko".  He would literally go fishing with only a pocket full of senkos plastic baits and hooks... in his pocket!  No back-up lures.  No tackle bag.  He would fish those senkos in any fishing condition, on any day, and catch fish.  I remember one time we were drifting fast in a rowboat and he was catching bass left and right on a weightless wacky rig senko from behind the boat! (fishermen know this is hard)

We fished a bunch of times together in those days, then we lost touch again, like people do, and I'm sorry we did because he was such a fun, nice, giving man who loved his family. 

I'll miss you Jeff!  We'll miss you at NYBASS and Lunkerville! 



Jeff, 

~ always with a warm greeting
~ always spoke about his family with love and pride
~aways with a kind heart and generous spirit

Rest in peace friend

Jeff, my younger brother’s friend, who would come to play and laugh and eat cookies.  Who loved his wife immensely and his son so dearly.  Harriet, Jenny, and the entire family, my sincere sympathy.  I hope Albert and Jeff are eating cookies on the front steps , after a game of catch.
❤️  

So many fond Greenacres memories with Jeff and his family from my childhood❤️
So very sorry for your loss

With deepest sympathy 

Lisa (Gutwillig) Fee
