Jeremy was a dear friend of mine when we served together in Brazil. Full of positive energy, good hearted, and a straight-shooter. Someone you could trust implicitly. Also fun to be around. We don’t have enough human beings like Jeremy on this planet. He will be missed by those who knew and loved him.
Jerry, Pete Averill, Leon Bezdekian and I were best pals at Woodrow Wilson High School in Washington DC. I sought him way back before the internet existed and never found him and am thankful that he had a full and rewarding life doing what he planned from the first day that we met. Condolences to his family from someone who knew him and regarded him highly in the 1950’s. I’m Dave Finnigan, davefinnigan@yahoo.com if you want to correspond.
I was very fond of Jeremy, who I met at the US Embassyj in Brazil. He was a great fellow. Stephen Schwab
