I recall at many of his birthday celebrations how Jeffrey greeted his guests by their name, and with a smiling and welcoming hug.

Roberta, Glenn, Amiee and Jason,
Like everyone else, we were shocked to hear of Jeffrey's passing. Our hearts are aching for your all. I can still see Jeffrey coming up the walkway and I would stick my head out the door and his face would light up, with gusto he would say hello and ask me if I knew what the celebration was all about. I don't think he ever missed an opportunity to invite Nicole and I over and be part of the celebrations!! We were blessed by you all, to come to know and be loved by Jeffrey. May all your memories wrap you all up and give you some peace during this time and always.
Love, Nancy

Oh, Jeffrey...I will miss your smile, your friendly demeanor, talking football with you. I will miss you wishing me a Happy Hanukkah...in February. I will miss your loud singing, your goofy personality, your very strong (😂) aftershave. I will miss everything about you. Rosewood I will never, ever be the same without you. And, I am a better person for having known you. Rest In Peace, Jeffrey! Your memory is a blessing to us all! Baruch dayan ha-emet.

This was my last week at Rosewood and we were making boiled dinner for cooking group. Jeff’s favorite day of the week. So he wore cabbage on his head while helping we called him the “cabbage man“

As one of his staff at his day program I can say he brought the most personality, was the most social, and brightened up so many people’s lives. I worked closely with him and he by far has made a huge impact on me. Never a dull day with Jeff!! From singing, dancing, exercise, coming to ask me for candy ☺️☺️ It was more than a joy to be apart of his life and him in mine. So many people have had the wonderful presence of him and I think we would all say the same thing! He was an amazing person and will be missed tremendously! Rosewood will not be the same without him 💙💙💙 I give my condolences to his family during this time of grief. 😇 you are truly an angel Jeff 🥰🥰

I had the pleasure of knowing Jeffrey for two years. One time, he came on a field trip with me, his companions, and other staff to a farm I knew. There was a colt who had been born with a deformed leg l said I'd check on before we left. So we settled our guys in the van and I said "I'm just going to tale a second to check on the baby." Jeffrey, of course, was very enthusiastic amd said that he'd like to see the baby. Jeffrey was a very happy and exuberant person, so I was a little concerned. But I had a feeling that maybe this would be a good experience for Jeffrey, so I said "Okay, Jeff, but you have to be quiet and kind of still. Mama horse is very protective of this little baby because he can't walk yet. If things get too loud, she might get mad." Jeffrey said he understood and didn't want Mama to get upset.
Just to be safe, I decided to check on Mama and baby from outside the barn looking into her window, because there was a barrier separating her from the window. The colt was laying in the straw; I was disappointed to see him not standing up.
Then something kind of sweet happened. The colt looked over at Jeff, flapped his tail, and flapped his lips at Jeff. Jeff for very quiet and still, as quiet and still as I ever saw him. Him and that colt stared at each other like they were having a conversation. And then Jeff said to me, "How come he's laying down? Is he okay?" And the truth was, that baby wasn't okay. The deformity was not righting itself; the colt could not stand without human assistance and probably wouldn't make it. But I didn't have the heart to tell Jeff. So I said "He just lays down a lot, and baby horses aren't supposed to do that, so we all check on him a couple times an hour."
Every day for a week, Jeff would ask me, "How's the baby?" And I'd give him a pat answer like "Oh, he's happy. He loves his mom." I couldn't tell him the baby didn't make it. I was afraid it would upset him. One day, Jeff said to me "The baby didn't stand up, did he?" And I was so floored by his intuition, I just blurted out "No, Jeff, he didn't stand up." After that, he just stopped asking.
In that one moment, Jeff and that little colt understood each other on some level. I'd like to think they would have been great friends if they could have interacted more. Perhaps when Jeffrey reached whatever other side there is, little Moses was waiting for him.
Goodbye, you sweet, goofy, party hardy guy. Knowing you was a priviledge.
