My deepest condolence to you all, Jesse loved talking about his family at Bingo. Who was going to be at the house for the weekend and how much food the grand kids ate. He was always making jokes and had the biggest warmest heart. he was a dear friend that got me through some tough times of my own loss. As Oscar and Terri said Our Bingo table will never be the same. I miss you my friend, I'll picture you riding off in your newest Truck.

Rest in Peace Jesse. We started out at best friends in the fire department. God and life then brought us together as brothers and family. The Smith Family will miss you and I will hold all our memories in my heart forever. Linda(The Warden/Doctor/Nurse/Accountant/Wifey) has always been a perfect match made in heaven. We started every conversion with "What up boy" and ended it with "I love you Man!". Until we meet again bro...

Linda and the Salas Family,
My sincere condolences on the the passing of a great Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather, Husband and one of my dearest friends. My wife Theresa introduced me to her Bingo buddies, Jesse, Smitty, Carlos, and Ms Bonnie. Bingo will never be the same for me. Jesse loved his family and always talked about his grandkids and always talked about you Linda. When I was deployed Jesse took care of my wife Theresa along with all our bingo buddies. I coined him with my first sergeant coin when i got back. He always carried that coin to bingo. I have been blessed to know your husband and call him a great friend. I will miss him but he will never be forgotten. The void in my heart cannot be replaced.
God Bless The Salas Family
