Jeremy S. Klugman

Hi Dad,

It´s my first time writing to you here. I recently graduated college and started my career as a high school English teacher. It´s funny hearing students call me Mr. Klugman. One of my favorite students is named Jeremy.

I made a film about you in my final semester of college. Here is the link:
https://youtu.be/j2aodwPukGo?si=dFYcb0YO6DAg6WOR

I remember you. Mom is doing well. I love you.

Happy birthday my son, no I have not forgotten that it's your birthday. I thought that I would let you know that Patrick is about to graduate college and start a new career as an educator. just remember, above all you are loved, you are missed.
Much love to you, dad

I can remember having Thanksgiving dinners at Jeremy's house in Albany. He would do all the cooking and everything would come out just right. It was always a fun time.
His sister and brother would show up with all their kids and it was wonderful to see how they all cared for each other.

Time has not healed this wound. You are loved, You are missed by all those that you had touched our hearts.
As always, love, Dad

I played Varsity Basketball for Coxsackie-Athens while Coach Klugman was the Junior Varsity Coach. He often helped with the Varity team in practice and always was on the bench during our games. He personally helped me with his basketball IQ, but more importantly, he became a friend to all of us while he coached at C-A. I thought about him today (3/10/20) and decided to look back the fond memories people have of him. Please know, he is still remembered by all of us who played for him at C-A. 13 years later, there's still a void in many of the lives he touched. Regards, Kerry McGrath.

Jeremy,
It still seems like only yesterday. I wish I had an hour with you, even now. You are loved, you are missed. Always, Dad

Mr. Klugman made an incredible impression on my life as my teacher. I still remember him walking with his wife pushing a baby stroller in front of my friend's house when we were playing baseball and him stopping to say hi. Truly a wonderful person, it's tragic that things like this happen and I definitely will miss him forever.

Eleven years ago today you left us and it still seems like yesterday. I'm not sure where the time has gone but, just know that the boys are turning into young men and that we all love and miss you. Dad

Ten years ago today, and still we hear from people who's lives were touched by your presence. You will never know how many of us love and miss you.
Love you with all my heart, Dad.

Dear Mr. Klugman,

A week from now, you will be gone 10 years. 10 years ago I was in your physical education class. A 7th grader. I am now a college graduate from Marist College (2015) and am applying for my PhD in psychology. I am also a marathon runner and am looking to run Boston- home of your beloved Red Sox. Whether it was when the Sox won the World Series in 2007 and 2013 or getting accepted to college, over the years, you have crossed my mind. I am glad that I got the chance to meet you and to have you as a teacher- you definitely touched the lives of many.

Until we meet again,

Belle Hettie

Nine years ago today and it still seems like it was yesterday. Just know that you are loved and that you are missed. Love, dad

Jeremy,
You are loved, you are missed.
Love you forever, dad

today jeremy I think of you as I do many days. You were loved by our mcnulty family and we all miss you, love kay Mcnulty and the family

I was going to type up a long paragraph, but I just want to say that throughout my entire time at Bethlehem schools, you were by far my favorite teacher and I'm kind of torn up now that I learned what happened. I was always fairly shy when you were my teacher for PE in 7th & 8th grade, but you were always able to shake me out of it and were honestly one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. After I graduated Bethlehem Middle School, I remember seeing you in Albany when I was in 9th grade and you were with a child and your wife. I was too nervous to say hi, but you recognized me and waved over to me with a big smile and called me over to talk. I've never written one of these types of posts before, but I hope that your family is doing well, and I hope that they know that you were one of the most influential people in a ton of people's lives. -Tommy Shepardson

It has been 7 years and it seems like yesterday. Just know that you are loved and you are missed. Love, Dad

Continue to rest in paradise. I know you would've been too excited to see the Red Sox win this year.

Hi Jack, I am still trying to find Kay. I know you dont know where she is . I think about what you have been through with all the troubles and I send my deepest sympathy. I only live about 5 miles from Liverpool, NY. Small world. Stay well Love Sharon

Five years ago today you left us. Just to let you know you are loved, you are missed, you are thought of every day. All my lovel, Dad

Dear Mr Klugman,

I don't know exactly why,but you came into my mind the other day, and it got me thinking about Phys Ed and Homeroom my 8th grade year with you. Remembering all the hilarious moments in homeroom and all the not to hilarious moment in Phys Ed where you'd get on me for not participating enough put a huge smile on my face.

I just wanted to say thank you for not giving up on me even though I was a royal pain in class. I'd thought you'd like to know I'm now in my second year of College and I'm going for Early Childhood Education at HVCC. I love it so far, and I graduate there in May of 2012.

I hope you know that you are loved and missed by many. You'll always be in my heart. <3

Happy Birthday son! I miss your smile and your bright blue eyes. I miss your moans and groans about your Red Sox. Love, dad

Four years ago today you left us and it seems like it was only yesterday. I think of you every day and miss you more than you will ever know. LOve, dad

Dear Jack and Kay, I just found out about Jeremy. Larry and I are so very sorry. I have been trying to locate you once again, to no avail. This was happen chance, that I found this.

Happy Birthday Jeremy, I hope you know how much you are missed and how much you are loved! There is not a day that you are not in my thoughts.

Dear Jer,
Well, I made my first macaroni salad ever last evening. I thought of you the whole time that I made it! You used to whip up some good ones:) I thanked you a few times for having all of the spices that I needed, I knew we would have them:)
Love ya,
Di
P.S. The boys are both on winning streaks with both of their baseball teams:)

Mr.Klugman:
I can't believe it has been two years since your passing. I wanted to let you know I made the varsity swim team as a freshman and I couldn't have done it without your encouragement. Many students including myself still think of you and your awesome PE classes. I wish your family well and i'll write again soon. Love Belle

heyyy,
its been two years today cried
ughhh i miss you klugy i wish
you were still here i think about
almost everyday just thinking
what you would be doing
but i already know teaching P.E.
and loving it...well i miss you
and i hope that your family is doing well
ill write again soon,

hey there,
long time no write i miss you so much i think about you like every other day..trying to cope with everything that is going on...i start to break down and start to get all teary eyed and i hate the fact that you are gone this sucks...i miss you so much klugy... honestly you were the tough teacher and yet you were the best...P.E. wasnt the same when i had to switch to Ms. D. i dont know but it wasnt...you pushed me to do my best and i did it, i wish everyday till this day that you were still here with me....

I still cry once in a while...

I had Mr. Klugman as my 6th grade teacher, and I'm now a junior in college but I often still think of him. He randomly came into my head today as I was remembering how Rachael and I use to try to run fewer laps around the track then required, but we never put one past him haha. I distinctly remember the first time I met him how scary he seemed, but quickly learned that it was all just an act haha. When I was in 8th grade 9/11 happened, and Mr. Klugman knew my father worked down in NYC and he pulled me aside to ask me if everything was okay. His thoughtfulness and kindness is forever with me. He was truly what every teacher should be. He cared about his students and wanted to see them grow to their fullest potential. He was one of those teachers that every time I saw him in the high school, I went out of my way to go up to him and say hello. He always pretended I was his favorite twin just to get on my sister's nerves, but I'm pretty sure he did actually like me best haha. Finding teachers and coaches like Mr. Klugman is a rarity, and I know for a fact that he touched the lives of many students and athletes. My thoughts and prayers are still with his wife, children, and family. I hope you all take comfort in knowing that the impact he made on so many lives will be intact forever.
Sincerely,
Julie Meyer

Hi Jer,
We thought of you a lot yesterday on your birthday. We went to the Stong Musuem in Rochester and had cupcakes w/ our lunch. We are really looking forward to going to Fenway in two weeks w/ everyone and we know that you will be watching over all of us there!
Wish so much you were here w/ us, we love you and think of you many times throughout the day.

Jeremy, our family misses you. You are thought of alot, by all of us. We give Diane, and Patrick, and Billy some help, and they surely miss you Lots. - thank God for Faith. We look forward to all meeting, a giant family reunion, In Heaven. Kay and Frank McNulty

Hi Jeremy,
I also miss you! I have so many memories of you. I remember you really liked the dinner at my wedding rehersal dinner at Colemans. I hope the Red Sox have another great season. We have to see the Dodgers or Angles on this coast.
Rest in Peace. It is amazing how many lives you have touched. We will all be together again.
Love
Susan

Dear Jer,
So hard to believe a year has gone by, we think of you every day and remember so many things about you. You were a great husband and a great father! The boys had me tell them a bedtime story tonite, and wanted it to be about the four of us @ Hoffman's playland. You were the brave one who could go on the spinning rides w/ them!
Many people especially thought about you yesterday and it was comforting to be around loved ones for the day. We hope that you are resting peacefully and enjoying eternal rest and peace w/ God. Know that we love you and pray for you daily. You will always be a part of us!
Love ya,
Di & boys

Mr. Klugman,

It's been a year since you passed away. I remember those times when I came and supported your Bethlehem Eagles Basketball team. I miss you.
Darren

Dear Jeremy, it has been a year now and it seems as if it were yesterday. I hope you know how you are loved and missed by us all. There isn't a day that goes bye, that you are not in my thoughts. I keep having flashbacks as if it were a movie. Some make me laugh and some make me cry. Just know that on the first anniversary of your leaving us, that I will love you forever. Dad

Hey Mr. Klugman,
I miss you so much!! I was thinking about you yesterday, when I drove by the funeral home, then a few blocks down I drove by a McDonalds and thought of you saying "I'll hand out these lunch detentions like they're Mcdonalds Happy Meals" and it put a smile right back on my face. It doesn't seem like its really been a year, it seems like you were with us just the other day. You left so many good memories, and I think about them all the time. You are a beautiful angel, and I know you're watching over all of us. I miss you so much! Love, Kim <33

Dear Jeremy,

Not a day goes by without us thinking about you. You are so greatly missed by everyone. This past weekend I watched your boys run out onto a basketball court anxious to play the game and it brought tears to my eyes as I thought of how proud you would be to watch them play your sport!
We're thankful to have Diane and the boys nearby and we all feel your presence watching over us. We pray for Diane's continued strength and patience with your little boys.

Hi Jer!
Hard to believe it is coming up on one year already. I feel like you were here w/ us yesterday! We miss you more than ever!!! I said your name a few times outloud in the car today, I miss saying it so much!
We made it back to Bethlehem for the Varsity boys last home game. They presented me w/ roses and the boys got t-shirts,it was really nice and I could tell you were really missed!!
I signed the boys up for baseball last weekend and they both had to get helmets. Patrick looks adorable and enjoys wearing his while he is on the computer! I just got really lucky and got RedSox/Yankee tickets for a game in Sept. I am going to suprise Billy w/ the tickets.
We know you are watching over us all the time. Patrick tried to let up a balloon to you yesterday, but it had run out of helium. We love you so much and we talk about you a lot!!!!
Love ya kid,
Di xoxo

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I miss you so much, I had another race today, I always think of you when I run, I know you were with me the whole way through. I know you are in a better place and I know I'll see you again someday. I miss you so much!
Love, Kim

Mr. Klugman,
I think about you everyday, what an amazing man you were! Your smile just lit up that gym. Everytime I think of you that smile always comes back. You were so good to me, so good to everyone and you would be so proud of everything everyone has been doing. School is definately not the same without you. I miss you and your smile everyday of the week. Wish you were here. I love you with all my heart.

Hey Mr. Klugman

we miss you so much. today in spanish we had to honor someone that had passed out of our lives. we dicided to honor you.you were such a big influence on us and you were a terrific guy. we miss you so much but we know your happier now. rest in peace.

Mr. Klugssssssssssss. I miss you buddd. I was thinking of you last night explaining how much of a influence you were on me. Explaining how I loved being in your gym class. You and Mr. nealon were the best. You guys always made me laugh and I knew I could always come ask you for advice. Your were a great man with a big heart and you always taught me to be the best t hat I can. I thank you for that and I just miss you so much. Everyday I think of you and how its harder each day that goes by. I miss you bud. way to much

love dominique<3

Dear Mr Jeremy Klugman.
It's been a while.
Everday i miss you even more. i wish i got to say goodbye. i wish that things were still the same. This year, i would have enjoyed being in your class just like i did last year. The week after it happened, everybody walked into the gymnasium knowing what everybody was thinking, but not saying a word. Almost like the whole class was an awkward silence. I hope you know that you are loved and missed by many. I remember one day you said to me " Gabby, don't follow the girly eighth graders, because i know that you're better than that. You are an athlete and a good student. Dont let them change you. " And i argued with you that the reason i was walking the track was because i did not feel good. but i loved that about you because you always wanted people to be givingg their best effort. It happened the first day of lacrosse, and i wanted to tell you all about it. But you werent there so i said, ahh i'll have to tell him next class. But i never got to tell you. I know your in a better place now, and i hope you're doing okay. I think about you every single day.

You were the best, j-klugs. I'll miss you're comforting words and ways of life.

It gets harder every day.

Mr. Klugman,
I'm still missing you. everyday i think about you. I just caught up with amanda and we were talking about playing softball in your class,we would always stand together in the outfield. you would seperate us, but 2 minutes later we were together. you didnt care. I miss you.

-Mcgurn

Dear Jer,
Last week was the first inaugural golf tournament in your honor. What a true tribute it was in your honor!What a turnout!!There were 120+ golfers! There were coaches, referres, co-workers and many, many of your friends. Billy and Patrick enjoyed seeing everyone and driving around in the golf carts and Billy loved winning a silent auction item. We think about you everyday and know that you are looking down on us. We miss you so much and wish you were here!!! We miss your smiling face!Know that you were truly loved by many, many people, especially us! Love ya kid, Di P.S. The guys carried on the Travers tradition last weekend and I'm sure they had many moments of thinking about you, and the love you had for the races!

Hey Mr. Klugman,
I miss you so much and I think about you always. I know that you are watching over us and that you are in a better place, but I still miss you. You inspired me to do so much more than you will ever know. Thank you for making me believe

I miss you
Love Kim

Dear Diane,
I am always thinking of you and your family and you are still in my thoughts and prayers. I am here to help you and your family in any and every way that I can if you need help watching the boys, or need dinner, or help doing yard work or anything I am here for your family. I know that things are probably slowing down now and that this is the time that you need some extra support and I really want to help. I live on a farm and if the boys would like to come over and see the kittens and the rabbit and ride the horses they are always welcome and so are you. I really hope that I can help you in some way and please don't be afraid to call and ask for help. Mr. Klugman was always there to help me and anyone who needed it and I will always be here to help you and your family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

-Kim Newell 475-7858

Happy Father's Day Jer!
We miss you more than ever and we think about you all the time. The boys both made special things for you and we are going to put them in a special box that we make, full of memories of you. Wish you were here, we know you are looking down on us. The boys were so lucky to have shared the days and memories that they did get to share with you!!You are the best father they could of had!!!

Diane...

The Bethlehem varsity tennis team finished the season 15-0 and won a thrilling 5-4 match in the Sectional Finals to claim the championship. Prior to the start of that championship match the team, many of the players had played on JV for Jeremy, took a moment in silence to remember Jeremy. The players on this team are some of the most respectful, hard-working players I have ever had, and I know Jeremy helped lay the foundation for this team.

The great tennis season and the Red Sox strong start to the season have been daily reminders of Jeremy.

My prayers remain with you, Billy and Patrick.

I have just heard the news today, of the passing of someone I have known since I was a little boy growing up on Olivetti Place. The Klugmans as a whole were such a great family, and would always go out of there way to say hello and see how everything was going. I grew up good friends with Matt, and can remember Jeremy very well, as we played ball in the streets or in the yards. I'm so sorry to hear about what happened, and wish you all my deepest condolences. My prayers will be with you all.

Mr. Klugman
We had pe today and me, Stephanie, and Janica were talking about when we had swimming and how every time we walk by the pool we think of you. We miss you so much and try our best in pe just like you would have wanted.

The winter has been long
We thought that it had passed
But, it was only at bay
Waiting, gathering strength
Returning with numbing force and cruel throbbing pain
Leaving behind cold, fear, vulnerability
We thought we had made it beyond the season of desolate gray
Siblings, clinging to the strength of each other, annealed by our history
But the four have been severed by this horrible winter
The storm has returned and one has had to bear more than his share
What are the odds of this ravaging disease?
What will the final price be?
There is no protection for those left behind
No summer retreat in sight
Have our future generations been liberated?
When will the winter end?


Happy Birthday Dear Brother

Mr. Klugman
I miss you so much and I think about you everyday and you and your family are in my prayers. I have been doing pretty well so far this season. The other day I was playing left field and this line drive was hit to me and I ran for the ball and dove and I caught it and I knew that you were my angel in the outfield and everytime I step onto the field I remember that I am playing for you and that you wouldn't want me to be nervous. Every hit and run I score I am doing for you because I know it is putting a smile on your face. I miss you and I hope you are proud of me.

LOVE ALWAYS Kim Newell

Now is the mourning time,
The son has not yet risen
I am alone with you
in my quiet time and I feel your pain

Now is the grieving time
Clouds of anger hide the son
We all smile through tears
As we remember your smile and strength

Now is the normal time
When life is supposed to go on
I still hold you close to my thoughts
As I help the son

Now is the future time
Courage, Resiliency, Patience, and Attending
are the rallying cry for the son
Clouds remain, but vision and hope prevail

Your legacy intact, your family protected, and a community shines

Mr. Klugman,
I miss you so much. I was thinking about you today because it was supposed to be our first game and because of all of this rain we have to postpone it. I remember you would get so mad when the rain would keep us inside, and that made me smile, you would get so frusterated. I think about you like crazy, and I remember all of the good times we shared. I know you are watching over me and will be at my first game, my angel in the stands. I miss you, love Kim

I heard about Jeremy's passing just tonight. I attended Bowling Green with him. I have the fondest memories of the BG days with Todd K. & Jeremy. Pick up hoop games, talking sports, and doing everything but studying!When Jeremy went to Courtland Todd K and I went to the NCAA tournment in Syracuse with him. Great times. I am devastated by this news. If there is anything I can do to help his family, please contact me directly. His sons should know he was kind and loving person and he will be missed. God Bless, to his wife and children. 440.892.1211

Diane & Family;
My deepeset condolences for your grave loss. Jeremy was a great friend. While we were roomates at BG, I will always recall how little work got done but many games were watched. I was honored to be included in your Wedding Party and still have fond memories of your family. I spoke with Jeremy often over the years and was very proud to see him obtain a varsity coaching position. He certainly new the game, (couldn't play it) but he knew it. Jeremy always spoke so highly of you as a mother and a wife. Continue to stay strong for yourself and your children. If you need anything please pick up the phone.

May God be with you.

Diane, Billy & Patrick,
We're thinking of you often and wish you peace and comfort in the days ahead. Our deepest sympathy to you, and the McNulty and Klugman families.
Love,
Becca & Bill

Dear Laurie and family~
we are so sorry to hear of the loss of your brother~ although it was a long time ago that I met Jeremy~ I remember him as good-hearted and quick with a smile ~ may the wonderful memories you have, the knowledge that he was well loved and the comfort of God keep you at this time~ LIZ,

I dont know what to say. I cant believe you are really gone. I know i didnt see you every day but i think thats what makes it hard. I still think ill see you walking into the highschool with that big smile and just stopping me and talking to me about sports, my brother and my family. You havent had my brother in 9 years yet you still remember him. I thank you for everything youve done for me and i will always remember you.
You are always in my prayers

Mr. Klugman,
Everything has been much different without you here. You would always help everyone do their best. Everybody always had a good time in your class.
Some people still call each other the nicknames you gave us in our P.E. class, but there are still mixed feelings when we enter the gym.
I'll never forget you for the rest of my life, and it will be hard not seeing you in school anymore.
Thank you for everything you taught me.

Mr. Klugman,
I miss you so much, this isn't the first time I have signed and probably won't be the last. I am praying for your family, and plan on doing anything I can to help you and your boys. I am so glad you took the chance to know me, you have changed my life and I will never be able to forget you, I know that you are in a better place and I can't wait until I get to see your big smiling face in heaven. You were such a wonderful man and have a place in my heart and many others. You were an amazing coach, teacher, friend, parent, husband, and so much more. You showed me that no matter what to keep trying and to never give up on myself, but you saying that, telling me you believed that I could do it is what made me believe. Now when I go play softball or soccer, I am going to play for you and do what you taught me to do, believe in myself and never give up.

I miss you so much,
thanks for always being there, I know that you are still watching over all of us, and that you are with me every day.

thank you for making me believe

love, Kim Newell

Diane, Billy, Patrick, and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Jeremy was a wonderful person and he touched many of our lives. If he had something to say, he said it, and there wasn't much that would keep him from holding his opinions in, especially during gym class.
Mr. Klugman was a very special person. He went out of his way to help me and anyone who was just having a bad day. I remember last year when my mom went away for radiation he came up to me before homeroom and told me that if I ever needed to talk his door was always open, when he said this I started to cry and he just gave me a hug and told me it would all be ok and that I had teachers and friends and family to help me through it, but it was him, his pep talk that helped me through it it was his sense of knowledge that made me feel like he already knew that my mom was going to be ok.
Mr. Klugman also loved teaching and every student has a fond memory of him. He always knew what to do when people weren't trying hard enough. Even if it meant that he would have to hand out lunch detentions like they were happy meals, that always made me laugh.
Sometimes he would tell the boys in the class hurry up, if you let Kim beat you I'll make you run another lap. He would say anything to motivate people to do their very best at everything in life.
Sometimes when he had a tennis match and the boys and Diane would come, the boys (usually Billy) would run the bases non stop so we could do our drills for softball. I remember that when the practice was over he would be so glad because he would have the attention of his boys again, rather than the attention of 18 teenage girls.
My mom was getting radiation in Boston and he would ask me everyday is your mom going to Fenway tonight, and every time I said No he would tell me about the last game he had been to there and how excited he was about the next big game. I used to wonder why he didn't live in Boston the way he was so crazy about the team, but I am so glad he was here instead, because I got to know him and knowing him was an honor.

I am so sorry for your loss, I know nothing will ever replace him, but I do know that words and love, and support can help. If you need help with anything, playing with the boys, food, spring cleaning, anything I am here for you and your family.

You are in my prayers

sincerely Kim Newell

Dear Diane, Billy and Patrick,
I am so sorry for the loss of your husband and father to your children, Jeremy. I am a Sister of
Mercy and lived with Jeremy's aunt Peggy, Sr. Carol Marie. I have wonderful memories of Jeremy since he was a very young boy, visiting at our house in Dobbs Ferry. His spirit was contagious then. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time of loss.

In Mercy,
Anna Jarkowsky, RSM

Dear Klugman Family,
I only today found out about your loss. I am deeply sorry to hear of Jeremy's passing. I taught PE with him at BCMS until 2001. He was such a wonderful colleague and friend. There is nothing I can say that can help you to deal with this loss, but know that I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless.

Although I only knew jeremy a little. I feel his loss everyday.I think about him everyday..and all of you. So many people are changed because of him, and not because he is gone but, ...because he was here.

Dear Mrs. Klugman and your Family,
As president of the Guilderland High School Boy's Basketball Booster Club, and on behalf of our entire program, I am sharing our thoughts of sincere sympathy at the passing of Jeremy. Whether "at home" or "away," Jeremy always greeted our players, coaches, and fans with a happy smile, a strong handshake, and positive words. He consistently inquired about past players - remembering many (my 21-year- old son included) by name - with genuine interest. Caring about other players speaks clearly to the gentleman Jeremy was. The basketball community has also lost a fine man.

Mike, Amy, Sydney, Tess and Drew,
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Tyler had your brother for PE and said only wonderful things about him.

Sorry for your loss. Jack & Shirley MacLeod

Diane and family,
I am deeply deeply sorry for you and your family's loss. I grew up with Jeremy from Kindergarten on up in Plattsburgh. I have very fond memories of Jeremy and he was a major part of my childhood. Words can not express enough condolances to you and your children. Sympathies and prayers to you all.

Dear Jack,
No parent should ever have to endure such a loss. I can see from the guest book he is in the minds and hearts of many. With deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Diane, Billy, Patrick, and family ~
I am so sorry for your loss of Jeremy. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. It had been a while since I saw him but, Diane, you always had funny stories to share when we talked. And I have great memories from our days at Cortland and visits to see you guys in Albany. Especially when I had to travel to Glens Falls several years ago for work and stopped by your house for dinner on my way home (Jer cooked of course!). May all of your wonderful memories comfort you!

Jack,
Ann and I cannot believe your loss. We are so sorry.

Richard and Ann Linebarger

As a collegue of Jeremy's, I would like to express my sincerest condolences to Diane and your boys; as well as all of Jeremy's family. Please know Diane, that you and the boys were the light of his life. He spoke of you so fondly. May you always cherish the wonderful memories that you created and may the boys always know how much their daddy loved them. God bless you now and always. Diane, may God grant you strength, courage and grace to raise your beautiful sons that you had when delivering Jeremy's eulogy. Although your pain is something that most of us will never be able to comprehend, you found the strength to help us see the Jeremy that you knew. Your sons are so lucky to have a mom like you. You will remain in my thougths and prayers.

Mr.Klugman,
You were the best and yes we all miss you...you were my best friend and you always will be... well Miss you...

Dear Mr. Klugman,
You were a great guy and an amazing teacher. Even though you always pretended to like Julie better, I know you really like me the best. I'm praying for your wife and kids and I hope that you Rest In Peace.

Coach Klugman,
I have not written anything because I was unsure of what to say. I wish I could of been at the services, but I've been praying for you every day. I had you six years ago and I still have many fond memories of Gym class. Everytime I hear "MEYER" I'll think of you. RIP you will be missed by many.

Diane- I am so very sorry to hear about Jeremy. While I didn't get to know him very well, I will always remember his gentle smile and talking with him at Christmas and other family get-togethers. From reading these pages, it is clear that he was loved and respected by many people and that he was a wonderful influence on his students. Give Billy and Patrick a hug from me, and please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Jack,

Our deepest sympathy to you and all of your Family in your loss of Jeremy, loving son, husband, father and brother. We pray that he is at Peace and also that you will find Comfort in knowing how much he was respected by his peers, students, friends, and community.

Our most sincere condolences,

Diane, Billy, Patrick, and family,

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.

It's an understatement to say he will be missed.
I'm sorry I didn't go to your wake.
Rest in peace Kluggers.
