I tried really hard to find anything about his father, and only thing I found was an obituary for Betty Strong who had a son David Strong in Jamaica Plains, MA, and his father did used to live there. This particular woman was the daughter of Samuel Goldberg and Anna Wallach.

I really do think this is his grandmother.
This is the obituary of her son Stanley:

it says: ”survived by…his brother, David Strong of Bristol, RI”
Jeremy’s father ALSO lived in Bristol, RI. Either there are two David Strongs who both coincidentally lived in two same places, or it’s the same man.
