Reflections for Police Officer Jeff B. Herman
You are always on my mind. I used to tease you that you looked like Scott Baio. I remember the terrible day when I signed in to the 71 Precinct with my horse. We hugged each other before shift. I never expected that would be the last time I saw you. My Sgt. and I drove together to your funeral to express our condolences to your wife and newborn son. Years later I was up late one night thinking of you. That led me to my computer, only to see that a Park and Harbor boat had been named after you. You are always remembered.
My nephew Nicholas Pascone's dream was to go into Harbor. I prayed to you for your assistance, hoping he would get the call. Today we learned that he has been accepted. Thank you my friend.
You were taken to soon, RIP. You will live forever in the minds of all whose lives you touched.

I don’t know if we ever met but I’ve heard stories about you and your dad through my father and your relative Lowell Herman who passed away in 2015. If any family members would like to get in touch with me I live on Long Island and I’d love to meet you and learn more about Jeffrey and your families. I hope Jeff is resting in peace and may his memory be a blessing.

In my battle of the badges, I could see my brother Frank had great officers to be led by example.
Rest in Peace. God watch over your family......

I’m late in leaving this, but you know I think of you often as well as your family. You were always a cop’s cop and had the greatest smile and laughter which we often shared while working at the 71 together.
Miss you brother.

I'm 10 days late Jeff, but only in writing this, I held you near on the 2nd, I always hold you near, but you know that. How brilliant your essence must glow knowing the impact you left in this existence in the short life-time you existed here. Even after all of these many years you're remembered by countless people with so much endearing love, respect, fond memories and a knowing of the positive impact you had, and set out to have starting at a very young age, always concerned for everyone, keeping an eye on the youth center and more... and you were just a kid yourself at that time.
You'll never be forgotten, forever a blessed part of childhood, forever an Angel, forever Chachi.
Much love Jeff.

Uncle Jeff,
Thinking of you as always. There are so many stories I wish I could tell you about work and so much advice I wish I could ask you for. Our birthday is in just a few days and this year I get to spend it doing what I love: serving the community and following in your footsteps. I am always trying to make you and the 71 family proud. I know you are with me every tour. Thank you for protecting me and guiding me.
I love you always and happy early birthday xoxo

You’ll always be part of my life Jeff. You saved my ass in the middle of a riot at Wingate HS in 1988 - and I’ll never forget that. Cops cop is what you will always remain! Thank you Jeff - my son is 24 now and knows all about you. I was a able to give testimony as a witness to the portion of your life that had me part of. Rest easy Jeff. ♥️

Jeff, I just welcomed my 10th grandchild. He, like all the others, will be shown your face on Bedford Avenue, your honors on the 71 Memorial Wall, and your Tree outside the 71 Stationhouse. He will be told of your bravery, and the terrible hurt that smothered the 71 when we lost you. He, like the others, will also be told how you have been honored and never forgotten all these years. And he will be taught how men like you live on in the hearts and minds of your family and the men and women who served with you. God Bless!!!
