In Memory of Beloved Friend and Valued Colleague, Jeff Jacob

 Jeff Jacob passed away on August 19, 2008 due to complications from an acute pancreatitis attack he suffered on Sunday, August 17. Jeff began working at NYSSA late last summer as Education Manager. His role at NYSSA went beyond professional duties as he was an electric personality in the office. Jeff's dedication to his work was evident in his close relationships with instructors and students who participated in the CFA programs. You would often see him sitting in on the courses and speaking with students to ensure they were getting the full benefits from the NYSSA programs. Jeff is a beloved friend who will be missed by everyone who had the chance to know him.

Jeff is survived by his wife Anne, children Stephen and Sharon, their spouses, and baby grandson Liam Jeffrey.
