This is too incredible to believe! I've known Jeff since he was two years old. My mother, Mrs. Mantovani or "Grandma" as he called her, took care of him when his mother Rose had to return to work. He was with my mom until he went to high school and even then he would drop by to see her. He was a very smart little boy and was full of questions, always asking "why." He enjoyed going to the Haworth Swim Club with my mother - he loved the water. This trait followed through to his adult life - he loved to surf. After he went off to college and later as he did his internship and residency, he would stop by our house to see her and joke with her. He never forgot all the years she took care of him - he loved her. He let her know it, not after she died but while she was still alive. Jeff was a terrific human being. My prayers are for his mother who will feel his loss every minute of every day. Teresa Pesce of Haworth
