I haven't seen Jeremy in about 15 years. But, when I heard about what happened, it felt as though I had seen him just yesterday.
only knew him for three all too brief years through his involvement in the Boy Scouts. He was one of the guys who made the summers at Boy Scout camp so magical. It amazed me, as I thought back on that time, that such a short bit of time could have such profound and lasting memories associated with them, but, that's just the sort of person he was. I think I speak for everyone who had the privilege of spending the summers with him in saying that the sheer force of his personality, good will and affection seeped into us all and changed us all for the better. There's not one of us who can say that we're not better people for having shared in the most fleeting part of his life. I guess that some people are just the physical incarnation of the blessings that life can provide--and Jeremy was certainly one of those people. Thank you for sharing your life with us, Jeremy. You'll never be forgotten.
Best wishes,
