For a number of years, Jeffrey volunteered weekly in our Habitat for Humanity office on Cape Cod. We always looked forward to his regular day with us. He had a big, fun, funny, generous-hearted presence …. Plus he did a ton of valuable volunteer work as part of our fundraising-data team. He was a volunteer we could really rely on. On behalf of Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, I send our deep sympathies to his family and close friends. — Vicki Goldsmith (Exec Director)
