Jeremy P. Mulderig

Jerry was my RA in my freshman dorm at Scranton. I ultimately went to graduate school at OSU and we connected there as well. Over the years I would reach out to Jerry, had SUCH admiration and respect for him as a person and his work as a scholar. I am so sorry to learn of his passing today January 2, 2025. He was and will always be a great mentor for me. Requiescat in pace.

I was so sorry to come across this news. I took several classes with Dr. Mulderig at DePaul and he was an outstanding professor--truly passionate and meticulous about whatever the subject from the most particular punctuation rules to Iserian gaps in literature. I loved each class with him and credit him in part with my subsequent publishing and editorial career. My condolences to his family.

When I'd visit Jer in Berlin, he'd take me to KaDeWe (photo from May 2019) for a fabulous lunch followed (always) by cake for dessert. Yesterday was the second anniversary of his death and I miss him so much. Hardly a day goes by that I don't hear his voice in my mind with some tidbit of historical interest or insightful advice or gem of profound wisdom... or a combination of all three. "You should try the Emperor's Cake... always save room for cake!"

I took his LGBT literature class as an undergraduate elective. Today I was once again reminded just how frequently, over the last decade, that beautiful course has come to mind. I still have every story printed out somewhere. Most of the stories, down to specific lines of text, have unexpectedly stayed with me forever. A chance elective, on the way to a B.S. in business, turned out to be such a gem. Beyond expanding the scope of my literary awareness, Jerry's teaching forever expanded my...

I called Jeremy when I was a freshman at Ohio State ~1977-78. I wanted to see if we were related. Pre-internet days, no easy way to do the research. We had a good, long chat. What I remember most was how kind and gracious he was. Further geneology research since has proven that we are cousins, maybe a couple of times removed. RIP cousin.

Jerry was my favorite professor and mentor in graduate school. His teaching made me a better teacher and a strong writer. Today, watching a show about Berlin, I thought of Jerry. I’m so sad to find out he passed away. May good memories fill his loved ones’ souls. I think if him often when I teach. Please share info with me about his memorial if possible.
