Jere S. Meserole ’44

Jere Meserole, of Burlington, Vt., died on Feb. 24, 2000, at his winter home in Boca Raton. He came to Princeton from the Lawrenceville School. He rowed on the crew, and roomed with John Bragg and later with Clint Ivins. Bill Soons and Rob Rowe were childhood friends.

After serving more than three years in the Army-winning the Silver Star-he commenced his career in insurance in New York, then moved to Burlington, where he worked for Northern Oil, developed several businesses of his own, and became a v.p. of the Chittenden Bank. He served on numerous boards and as pres. of the First Congregational Church. He was particularly proud of his establishment of the Vermont chapter of the Senior Coalition of Retired Executives.

Surviving him are his wife, Carole, and his children, Jere Jr., Gregg, Rolf, and Kristin, and 11 grandchildren. To them his class extends its sincere condolences.
