I worked with Jess here at the Santa Fe Bulding here in Amarillo and when we got transferred to Topeka Ks. He worked in the Rates Dept in Amarillo and Topeka and he and Irv Klinger Jim Quisenberry "Quiz" as we called him Jim Lancaster Kem Lunn and many others who would give me all sorts of heck but in a good way!!! He always had an amazing sense of humor. Awesome to see him play the piano and organ well. I wish Jack Nancie Brett and Trent and all his family the best at this time. My prayers go with you all as we know he is singing joking and playing the piano with his Lord and Savior! My daughter Sherie Wood and Son in law Jason Wood loved him dearly in the choir and I think Trent was directing the choir at Quail Creek. We will definitely see him again in our Eternal Home!

Jess was a great friend, a great man, and, more than anything a great Christian. I loved talking to Jess and hearing his stories. I always enjoyed hearing Jess play the piano and organ. The last time I saw Jess he told me about playing the new pipe organ at First Presbyterian Church. He said that you'd better not have a full bladder when you sit down at that thing, because those pedal tones will get you. He also had an amazing sense of humor.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Sisemore family. I am so sorry for your loss. You're all family to me and I love and cherish every one of you.

Jess was a very talented and funny man. I loved listening to him play the piano at church. He would always joke in choir. He had a beautiful voice as if angels were coming out. He always carried a bottle of water with him wherever he went. He always had a smile on his face. He always talked great things about his wife and loved her dearly. He was and still is a lover of Christ. He's singing with the angels now and getting to meet God face to face. An amazing wonder. He worked with my dad at Santa Fe Railroad until they shut the building down. My dad was transferred to Kansas andcontinued to work for them until his retirement. But he always told me great things about Jess. He will be missed but will always be in our hearts forever. Jess, we miss you very much. But, it's really goodbye. It's we will see you later. Your family and friends will be in our hearts and prayers. Until we meet again in that great Heavens above. Jason and I give our condolences and prayers to the Sisemore family. I can still hear him singing and playing beautiful music.

"Precious Memories" I can hear Jessie playing it now. The last time I saw him was at my grandson's funeral 10 weeks ago. Maybe John Michael and Jessie are playing the keyboard and organ together in Heaven and praising the Lord. Jessie played at our wedding and I will always remember listening to him twice a day on Sundays at Olsen Park. He was a great guy. Feel our love Jack and Trent we will miss him too.
