Jeremy Lajoie

I just learned of the loss of Jeremy. I am still surprised and saddened to hear of his passing. Jeremy was my next-door neighbor and classmate at Yale. Nearly every Saturday for two years, Jeremy convinced me to rise early (a difficult feat for a college student) and spend the morning with him to drive out of New Haven to purchase supplies for the Jonathan Edwards College Buttery, the late night cafe that he managed for several years strictly as a labor of love. As anyone who knows him better...

Jeremy was a "second son" to Carol & I. Monica & George we share your sorrow, and hope your family will remember how talented and funny he was. He'd come over to watch TV and play game until the wee hours of the night and bringing a Super Market's worth of snacks for Ben and him.

We shared such a wonderful Christmas Eve service 1 and 2... singing Oh Holy Night. I will miss your wonderful voice and guidance. It was such a gift to have spent time with you in the choir at Longmeadow Church. My condolences to your family. -Karrye Berglund

I'm so sorry for your loss my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I lived next door to your family in Berlin it seems like so long ago. I was so sorry to read about this in the paper.

Monica, George, Sophia

May you find peace at this time

I am shocked and deeply saddened by Jeremy's passing having just moments ago learned of it. Jon is on his way back from Chicago and I have shared this news with him. Jon so enjoyed Jeremy's friendship over the years and I have many fond memories of him. My deepest sympathy to you all . . . you are in my thoughts and prayers.

You are so missed, Jeremy, especially by the Longmeadow choir. You were so very talented and taught us so much. You were a sweet, kind and gentle man whom we wish we new better. I'm certain you're now a tenor in God's choir.
