Jeff helped me on my tough road. I wish I could have told him.

Jeff was my neighbor and friend. Always a smile and wave. I could always count on Jeff for anything.
As the years went on I saw less and less of him as his health failed but he never complained.
He will be missed.

It is with deep sorrow and a heavy heart that today we remember and honor Jeff. For over 20 years, Jeff has been an exceptional boss, partner, friend, and mentor to all of us at the Holger Danske hotel in St. Croix.

Jeff's unwavering dedication and passion for his work were evident in every aspect of his role. He was not only a leader but a true inspiration to those around him. His ability to motivate and guide with kindness, wisdom, and a genuine concern for everyones well-being is a testament to his exceptional character.

Beyond his professional abilities, Jeff was a true friend to many. His warm smile, infectious laughter, and willingness to lend an ear made him someone we could always count on. Whether it was sharing a joke to brighten our day or offering a shoulder to lean on during challenging times, Jeff's presence brought comfort and joy to our lives.

As a mentor, Jeff played an instrumental role in shaping the careers of numerous individuals within our team. His guidance, patience, and belief in our abilities helped us grow both personally and professionally. He had a remarkable talent for recognizing the potential in others and provided the support and opportunities needed to flourish.

Jeff's impact extended far beyond the confines of our workplace. His commitment to the community and his love for St. Croix were evident in his involvement in various charitable endeavors and his genuine desire to make a positive difference. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, generosity, and a deep love for this island we call home.

During this time of profound loss, let us remember Jeff for the incredible person he was and the indelible mark he left on our lives. Let us cherish the memories we shared, the lessons we learned, and the laughter we enjoyed together. As we mourn his departure, let us also celebrate the richness he brought to our lives and the countless lives he touched.

In honoring Jeff's memory, let us strive to carry forward the values he exemplified: dedication, compassion, and a genuine passion for what we do. Let us support and uplift one another, just as he did for us.

Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to Jeff's family and loved ones during this difficult time. May they find solace in the knowledge that he was cherished and respected by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Jeff, you will be dearly missed, but your spirit will forever remain in our hearts. Rest in peace,

Eva and Tony

God bless my dear friend... We had dinner every night at his hotel in St Croix.. Jeff was a very kind compassionate individual that would do anything for a person in need... The world lost a great human being... Not sure why his accomplishments with the hotels he owned in New York and St Croix USVI weren't mentioned... Wonderful down to earth man that I will truly miss dearly! Along with his second family in Christiansted and the Holger dansky hotel can't forget about Nate's either... Keith Falcone...

I remember him well from Park School. He had a great sense of humor and enjoyed life. My deepest condolences to his family.

I am sad to hear that Jeff died. He was one of my best bosses. I worked for Jeff at the Camelot Hotel in Hamburg. He was under a great deal of pressure by the owner, yet he always made sure we lowly wait and kitchen staff were appreciated. We loved Jeff and would do anything for him. My tips were terrible, but I stayed there anyway because of Jeff. May God bless him and his family.
