accomplishments — and no
doubt his pride — are nowhere
more evident than in the
achievements of his wife, children
and grandchildren. Marsha was
the art critic for the Detroit Free
Press from 1974-1995 and is the
founder and founding director of
the Museum of Contemporary
Art Detroit. Jeffrey’s eldest son,
Doug (52), is a screenwriter who
created the Netflix shows Narcos
and Griselda. His eldest daughter,
Darcy (51), is an artist whose work
is in several permanent collections
including the Museum of Modern
Art and the Museum of Art and
Design. Jeffrey’s youngest daughter,
Chelsea (37), founded her own
educational consulting firm and
publishes regularly on pedagogy
and curricular design. Jeffrey was
thrilled to get to see three of his
grandchildren follow in his and
Marsha’s footsteps and attend the
University of Michigan — and a
fourth grandchild mirror his deep
intellectual curiosity by attending
the University of Chicago.
In addition to his wife and three
children, Jeffrey is also survived
by nine grandchildren, Lily (20),
Lucien (19), Olivia (18), Matteo
(17), Phoebe (14), Judah (10),
Wren (6), Soren (5) and Zadie (4
months); and his sister, Barbara
Weine; and her three daughters and
their families.
