Jeff was born in Queens, NY and a graduate of the High School of Music and Art in NYC, where he studied piano and bassoon, and then Adelphi University, where he studied business administration.
Jeff worked for more than 40 years in the garment industry, which enabled him to travel the world. Travel was a passion Jeff shared with his wife and children. Jeff was married to Judy Rogin for almost 52 years when she predeceased him in 2015.
Jeff is survived by two brothers (Alan and Michael), his two children, Jessica (John) and Jonathan (Naomi), and two grandchildren, Sela and Asher.
Jeff was a man who achieved his greatest joy by doing anything and everything to provide happiness for his family and friends. As he suffered from Alzheimer’s during his final years, the family requests donations be made in his memory to the Alzheimer’s Association, http://www.alz.org.
