One of the classics has passed (funeral location corrected – I think)
/
Anyone and everyone involved in the Greenwich real estate scene over the past, what — five decades? Six? – knew Jean. I first met this spark plug when a part of my law practice practice comprised real estate, and that relationship continued when I went into real estate myself and joined her at William Raveis. Jean was a tough, determined force, and sometimes it could be a challenge not to be angry at her, but I always considered her a good friend, and she reciprocated. One thing about Jean: once she committed to your offer, she held the deal together no matter what, fending off all other comers. I benefited from that determination many times, and sometimes didn’t; even in the latter cases, I held no hard feelings.
She was one colorful character, and a fun person to know and work with. Her funeral is Saturday at St. Paul’s in Riverside, and I expect the church to be packed. God speed, Jean.
Correction: Brother Gideon informs me that, Greenwich Time notwithstanding, the funeral will be held at St. Paul Catholic Church on King Street (The Hamburger Church), and not the Episcopalians’ hangout at St. Paul’s Riverside. . I never knew Jean to be particularly Riverside/yachty, so this seems more likely.
