His daughter, Shana Ashpole, had nominated him but was unavailable when we tried to call him earlier to connect him with his dad.

The daughter shared that Jeremy has a little pension money has hardly had any work since lockdown. He runs a professional karaoke setup at restaurants and bars. Many of the establishments have closed their doors and others feel that karaoke doesn’t work with curfew at 21:00. This is his primary income. He feels like a complete failure as he cannot contribute anything and has very few working years left of his life. He is so good at what he does but at 77 is starting to take strain!\

He is a charismatic man, listen to hear to how it went for Darren's Tip Jar.
