In the 60's, when most teens listen ti WMEX, I woke up every morning to Jess Cain on the radio. Loved his shows.

From 6th grade to 12th grade I awoke to the great Jess Cain. I have been away from the area for quite some time. I am so sorry to have missed any tributes to this joyous man.

Jess could make you laugh first thing in the morning. Even today all I have to say is, And The Gulls Fly Low Over The Dorchester Dump and Jess is right here. People like Jess touch your truth and never leave you.

Thank you Jess . . .

From 1985 to 1987, I was a part-time utility announcer at WHDH radio. whenever I happened to cross paths with Jess, he always called me by name and asked how I was doing, even though he didn't know me from before I worked there. That really meant a lot. Jess was a class guy and an incredible talent, and was warm and friendly to everyone whether or not they had notoriety. A fine man like this is unfortunately a vanishing breed.

My condolences, I knew of Jess Cain growing up in the Boston area in the 50's and 60's. He was a hero and may God keep him always in your hearts and spirit. I also know Mr. Joe Martelle and am endeavoring to make contact, Joe, this is Sergeant Jeff, of Fort Devens, 1980-82, I am living and working in Germany at [email protected].

I found this recently. My dad was a real hero
