I met Jeremy after separating from my husband.   It was love on first sight.
The kindness and love that generated from his heart helped heal mine.
His love of life, family and of course his dogs were unbelievable.
Often talking of his son, whom he adored and was so proud of.
We both reminisced of our lifetimes and shared in the sorrows of it.
I saw Jeremy just before he passed and we ran into each other’s arms as if time had not passed.    He has a special part of my heart that  will never be replaced by another.
Please know he loved all of you, friends and family.   
sincerely Linda Lipp



In 1969, soon after we moved to Toronto, when i was 8, I was sent next door by my parents to invite our new neighbours over for a drink.  It was the start of a great friendship, not just with June Pike (Moran), but with her son, Jeremy.   We would play ball hockey for hours on our driveway.  He was older, so I played net - dodging the pebbles off the driveway.  The start of my 10 year year 'career' as a goalie!

We moved, and drifted apart for many years.  But we came back together when Jeremy came back to Toronto to care for his mom while she was dying of cancer.   He was by her side for months, caring for her day and night - even though it put his work and relationship at risk.  She was his mom,  Jeremy was loving, giving and loyal.  

And generous.  When I moved to Ottawa in 2001, I remember him offering to move my grandfather's antique desk from Toronto into my new home.  It was an heirloom, and needed someone with great skill to move it. (He was a mover by trade then.)  He came out from BC, and took 2 days of his time, and wouldn't accept any money.    It was for friendship.

The last time I saw him was at my dad's funeral, in 2013.  He came across the country to pay his respects and be with us.  Jeremy, and his mom, were an extended part of our family, ever since that day in 1969 when I went next door.    The world is a poorer place without his big heart in it.  You will be missed, my friend.  

I still remember the first time I met Jeremy ... Deer Park ... Grade 7 ... he was a big "galoot"... unsure of himself ... I was a skinny little kid... over sure of myself ... immediate best friends! We were inseparable for about 5 years ... Myles Dutton ... Mark Dutton ... Robin Smithies ... I lived with his family for 6 months when mine was transitioning to Montreal. Dennis and June were like second parents (but cooler) ... I remember an Alice Cooper concert that started at the Pikes with rum and coke ... I don't remember the end 

I remember unequivocal loyalty... I remember real "bro" love. 

Over the years we have stayed in touch ... as recently as a few months ago sharing info about grandkids. 

RIP my friend. Schools out for summer!
