ReplyDeleteEveryone who met Jesse was lucky & they knew he was a good man. He always had time to say hi & ask about you & your family. My thoughts & prayers are with Beverly & the family. Jesse will be missed by many but will not be forgotten. I remember when I started calling him pretty eyes. It was a thing between Jesse & Joe & myself.I'm proud to have been a friend of Jesse's for many years. You will be truly missed & loved, because you were one of the good guys. Your memory will live on. Your friend.
