The tree was the Great Oak, a beloved feature of the George Landis Arboretum.
The man was Jeremy G. LaJeunesse, a beloved resident of Esperance. Jeremy had a special fondness for the Arboretum, sharing a deep connection with the Great Oak. In a tribute to both man and tree, Jeremy’s parents, George and Cathleen, purchased an oak sapling through the Landis Memorial Tree Program. At a dedication ceremony earlier this year, it was planted next to the remnant trunk of the Great Oak. While we mourn the loss and cherish the memories, we also are heartened that as the young tree grows, it too will provide the physical and spiritual blessings left behind by the two it honors.
