I met jeff in 2005….we worked together on and off in advertising for about 5 or 6 years. He was s good friend. We did a lot of lunches. I had not seen him recently and did not know he was going in the hospital and was sad to hear of his passing. R. I. P. Jeff.
I have known Jeff since middle school and he was always someone I could talk to or someone who you could count on. He never lost touch with me, even when he moved to Florida, while I remained in NY, as he always called me every few weeks, especially after my accident. He never forgot to check in with me and offer whatever help he could. Many people leave you when you become disabled, Jeff was not someone who would do that.I will miss your calls my friend. Your time on this earth was short, but I will never forget you..
I worked with Jeff for 3 years. When I started we were seated back to back, I remember I asked a question and his first words to me were along the lines of,'if you don't know all the brands and models of cars, you shouldn't be working here…' Ah, Jeff. I remember one day I asked him for help, and a great work relationship, and friendship started from that point on. He had a great sense of humor, often taking our jokes to the next level. He was a font encyclopedia! If you needed the name of a font, Jeff always knew. My best memories with Jeff are the many lunches we shared (mostly at the Gyro joint), and Halloween. Since my leaving our same work place, there hasn't been a day where I don't think about something quirky Jeff would do or say, or how he would handle a design. My heart hurts that he is gone. I am thankful for having known him, even if it was a short while.
I first met Jeffrey Kaufmann's sister named Debra during the Fall semester at Rockland Community College in Suffern NY. Soon after meeting Debra, we became close friends. I had the opportunity to visit and spend a lot of time with the family during the 1980's and 1990's. Jeffrey was a great guy and a great artist. He will missed. Rest in peace Jeffrey.
