Jerry Leff, a 57-year patroller at Seven Springs Ski Patrol in Western Pennsylvania passed away on January 21, 2026. An avid skier, Jerry will always be remembered as a loving, giving person who was always willing to help anyone. He was very generous behind the scenes helping those in need. He was also known for bringing Kosher bar-b-que baloney to the patrol’s annual Beast Feast.
Jerry was a 32nd degree Mason and Shriner for over 50 years. In the summer, nothing gave him more pleasure than riding in the motorcycle motorcade with the Shiners and community parades. He also loved entertaining on his boat – the “Just Leff.”
Jerry graduated from Braddock High School, near Pittsburgh. He served in the Air Force and then the Air Force Reserves. Jerry attended Duquesne University in Pittsburgh until he left to work side-by-side with his father running the family business of Leff Electronics (originally known as M. Leff Radio Parts). Jerry successfully turned the business into the largest electronics distributor on the East Coast.
Jerry is survived by Anna Leff, his wife of 44 years. He is also survived by 10 nieces and nephews, and 23 great-nieces and nephews. Jerry will be greatly missed by all who loved him.
