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