Born on May 28, 1948, Jeffrey was a devoted father, husband, grandfather, and friend. He was a proud graduate of South High School and went on to earn his Master’s degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), launching a successful and respected career as an Electrical Engineer.

He is survived by his wife Frances (Lombardi) Lassey, his daughter, Stephanie Mustica and her former husband Massimo Mustica; his beloved son, Jeffrey Lassey, and his wife, Mary Lassey. He was the adored “Gramps” to five grandchildren: Angelo Mustica, Marcello Mustica, Jack Lassey, Emma Lassey, and Lily Lassey.

He loved nothing more than being with his family, whether cheering at a game, sharing a story, or offering wise guidance. His memory lives on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
A man of great intellect and quick wit, Jeff was known for his many famous sayings—none more beloved than his signature greeting, “Hey Budday!” He brought humor, warmth, and wisdom into every room he entered. Jeff found great joy in golf, forming lasting friendships on the green and treasuring the game as a lifelong passion.
He was deeply proud of his family and the life they built together. His legacy is one of love, laughter, and unwavering devotion.
