Not sure what to say?

I was very saddened to hear of Jeremy's passing. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. He was a true professional and I appreciated his good advice. He struggled with his illness with courage. I am sorry we had just started working on my book. He reached out to me the end of 2024, regarding a matter related to our contract because of his illness. I followed up but had not received a response. At an appropriate time, I would be grateful to connect...

My condolences go out to you and your family. I sent Jeremy an email the other week and thought it strange that I had not heard back, so I did a search and found out that he had passed. We last spoke in the fall. He was a wonderful individual with a passion for Holocaust Remembrance, and as I now learn for animals. He was instrumental in helping me put out a 2nd edition of my father's Autobiography and was an integral part of the JCRC Yom Hashoah Remembrance Day here in DC. I will always...

My wife and I were saddened to learn of Jeremy's passing. I knew him for around 15 years. He published three editions of my dictionary. This obviously required a great deal of teamwork. I immediately found in Jeremy an incredibly polite, experienced, straightforward and honest man. It was a pleasure to deal with someone of his caliber. I was fortunate enough to get to know Jeremy personally. He and I had many conversations on a multitude of subjects. My wife and I met with him and Jennifer...

It was a pleasure getting to work with Jeremy for a little over a year as one of his project editors. He taught me so much and I know his presence will be missed in my life and others´.

Jeremy was a giant of a man. My perspective as a friend and a writer some of whose books he published is that of both fond memories of wide-ranging conversations and the quality of his work: his attention to detail, his capacity for ambitious projects (and his ongoing devotion to them even after he became ill), his intellegient and thoughtful approach to words, iamges, and concepts... He will be enormous ly missed: how much the more so by his family members!

I posted the following on Facebook this morning. (Page is "The Rose Temple") I am deeply saddened by the passing of a publishing mentor and friend, Jeremy Kay. Jeremy, founder of Bartleby Press, was instrumental in the production and distribution of The Rose Temple. He was passionate in his work with me, as he was in endeavors such as The Library of the Holocaust Foundation, dedicated to preserving the literary legacy and memory of the Holocaust through titles that reflect survivors´...
