Today, I was deeply saddened to learn of Jess´s passing. For many years, we worked closely together during our time with The Lettermen, and I came to admire him greatly.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever. No words can describe how we feel. We will miss your smile and your captivating stories of your life. I was proud to be your brother-in-law. Thank you for being my mentor.

What a wonderful life! To the family: Celebrate Jess's life by living a full one too. Sorry for your loss. Glad you have good memories of a wonderful man.
