I was stunned and saddened to learn of Jeff's passing. I still see him in energetic HS mode. He was a major figure in our experience. We had kept loosely in touch -- every now and then, I'd get an email out of the blue, just checking in -- most recently after my accident in Oct 2022. He never mentioned any health issues. He will be sorely missed -- had hoped to see him at our June reunion.
Very sad. Jeff was an accomplished person, and one of the leaders of the class of 1965 as we went thru JR and SR High. RIP, Jeff. Prayers to his family.
Nearly a week has passed and I am still reeling from this news. My deepest sympathies go out to Jeff's wife and son. For many of us, Jeff Carter was a central character in our high school experience. Open the 1965 Greystones, and there he is on the first page, regally clad in a toga. Turn the next page and you'll find him in a "courtroom," in a suit and pressing his case, the uniform and career of his life to come. Jeff's picture is sprinkled elsewhere throughout the yearbook, but you shouldn't have to look him up. You probably had a class with him or particpated in an activity with him; you couldn't miss him. Jeff and I were co-Chairmen of the Assembly Committee - students who were excused from class to don robes and "usher" at special assemblies. Either Jeff or I would be designated to host the assembly and introduce the speaker or program. For the last assembly of our senior year, we got permission to co-host, and before introducing the program, we told some jokes and stories that were, shall we say, not in keeping with the general level of solemnity we were charged with maintaining. Our advisor, Miss Weiser was not happy (but then, was she ever really happy?), but we were happy to brerak protocol. Jeff Carter was bright, thoughtful, ambitious and perhaps a little mischievous. We have been deprived of his company much too soon.
I will forever remember Jeff as he looks in his high school picture. What a fine man. And yes , taken from us much too soon. He is a great part of the Class of 65 and we treasure the memories. Deepest sympathy to his family.
I had a few classes with Jeff over our six years at HJHS and HHS. He was always friendly and kind to me which I appreciated then and now. I tried to join him in an instrumental group at one time, but I rapidly realized that I had no musical talent, but he pretended I was contributing something. He had class. In response to Roy Jacobs: Sadly, I do not remember the assemblies with you two ushering, but I certainly do remember Miss Weiser. No, I don't think she was ever happy, at least not with me. May Jeff rest in peace, and may perpetual light shine upon him.
Like Roy, I was shocked and saddened to read about Jeff's death. We first became friends in 8th grade when Jeff and I were struggling in Algebra II with Mr. Kimes. Later that year and possibly in 9th grade, too, Jeff, Rob Klugman, Kingman Davis, Ron Greene and I battled each other in marathon games of Risk. In recent years, Jeff and I managed to get together a few times here in Philadelphia, and he was always an astute observer of the national political scene, which -- combined with his deep knowledge of American history -- made him a very perceptive analyst. In fact, Jeff brought his wife Roz Moore and his son Ben to visit The Inquirer newsroom on one of his trips East. Jeff was a good man and a good friend, and I send my sympathy to Roz and Ben.
I knew about Jeff's passing shortly after it happened, and I am still stunned by it. He and I were good friends througout hifh school, and, following our freshman year in college, enjooyed a rather alcohol-fueled day trip to New York, where we enjoyed Manhattan and Manhattans, and a good snooze on the return trip. I think we will always remember him for his warmth and kindness. My condolences to Roz and Ben on their loss.
I am very sorry tro hear of Jeff Carter's passing. I was also in the Senior play ' Begger on Horseback' with him. After graduation, we were at a party and he was very kind to me. I heard he was very successful in CA and I'm sure he will be greatly missed by many people.
I considered Jeff as one of my closest friends at Haverford. I remember many camping trips where we would fill a canoe with water and paddle around the lake just to see peoples reaction. Rest in peace Jeff. My thought and prayers are with his wife and family.

Jeff's passing is sad indeed. He was an talented member of our class, widely admired not only for his intelligence but his thoughtful manner.
