Jeremiah E. Parson, 77, passed away at his residence on August 10, 2014. Born in Albany, he is the son of the late Jerome and Evelyn Parson.
Jeremiah worked at the university of Wisconsin before starting out as one of the first Peace Corp Volunteers to Tanzania. An avid fan of race car driving, he competed in the East African Safari Rally in Kenya and decided to work in Africa for many years in Peace Corps and later for USAID. He was a member of several associations, including The Lions Club and The Harley Davidson Motorcycle club. He had travelled to many parts of the world making lifelong friends and scrabble buddies.
He is survived by a sister, Elnora Willingham, and his three children Adam, Bharat and Lisa Parson and two grandchildren Cameron Parson and Tristan Parson
