Jeffrey H. Price

1956 – 2026

Jeffrey H. Price, 70, a kind and gentle man, who lived in Ewing and Brigantine, NJ, passed away on Tuesday, November 10th, 2026. Jeff was born in Red Bank, New Jersey and raised in Hazlet. He later made Middletown, NJ his home for over 30 years. Jeff graduated from Raritan High School in 1974, earned a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Biscayne College in Miami, Florida, and went on to work as a successful finance manager at AT&T for over 37 years.

He loved nature, taking great pleasure in the deer, fox and other wildlife that lived in his backyard. He had a special affinity for turtles which he always rescued and redirected into safe haven when he found them stranded on a trail, the golf course, and the beach. He loved birds of all kinds, especially bald eagles, and would search for them while hiking the beach and the trails surrounding the Delaware River. Jeff was a lucky man. In the course of his travels and time on the golf courses he had an intention to find four leaf clovers which were hidden to the undiscerning eye. He was determined and patient, taking his time, moving slowly, as he was always apt to do. His motto was “observe and report”, a phrase he learned and embraced while working part time as a security guard during his college years. Fortuitously, shortly before he passed away, he reached his goal of finding, laminating, and distributing four leaf clovers to each of his grandchildren and other family members. That made him very happy.

Jeff spent many years enthusiastically coaching his children’s youth sports teams, including baseball, soccer, and basketball. He was the consummate coach, and he loved participating in sports of all kinds, both as a player and as a spectator. Jeff and his son were famous for finishing in first place in the much-anticipated annual father and son horseshoe throwing and darts tournaments. He was an avid, disciplined golfer, enjoying charting the statistics of his game as much as he enjoyed the playing, which he truly loved and missed during the off-season. He liked exploring all the golf courses he could find throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania, where he could meet his friends and meet new friends to share play and camaraderie.

Jeff loved spending time with his family and friends and traveling all over the United States to revel in the beauty and uniqueness of its national parks. He loved music, especially blues rock guitar and was happy hearing it live in concert and at home on his stereo. He was known for his unique, infectious laugh which he shared often and which brought joy to everyone around him.

Jeff genuinely loved spending time with friends and family, meeting new people and helping and teaching others. He could fix and build literally anything and never let getting older stop him from taking on challenging projects. He was able to analyze, design, and implement solutions to problems that would be daunting to many other people. Jeff is loved and admired for his friendly, open demeanor and for his generous, genuine willingness to share his breadth of knowledge and interests with other people. He was a natural numbers man. Math and statistics were his communication style; hence, his interest in the stock market, tracking his golf handicap and scores, and rolling the dice in Atlantic City, where he was always very happy doing his favorite things: playing and being together with all his friends and the interesting, new people whom he loved to meet.

Jeff was predeceased by his parents, Harold and Irene (Diane), and he is survived by his beloved family: his wife, Dar Sandler; his three children, Jeffrey Price and his wife Jodi, Jason and his wife Colleen, and Jodi and her husband Kevin; his sister, Judy Price, and brother, Robert Price, his uncle Ken Haspel; his stepson, Jake Sandler, and his six grandchildren, Evan, Shea, Carter, Avery, Emilia, and Penelope.

Jeff’s passing leaves a devastating and deep hole, felt profoundly in the hearts and lives of everyone who was lucky and privileged to know him and to love him. Jeff loved his life. He was active and happy right until his sudden and unexpected passing. We know he’s scoring limitless holes in one, playing golf in heaven.
