Not sure what to say?

Joe and family, my condolences for the loss of Jesse. You are in my prayers.

Jesse & I grew up together. He was always helpful at The Assyrian Picnic's along with Dave Lazar. During his twilight years, Linda & I would visit Jesse and Joe Yonan in Lynden, MI at their assisted living quarters. Jesse was always friendly and went out of his way to say hi and we always had a good laugh. Linda & I were in Wisconsin at the time of his loss. May GOD comfort the family. Many blessings from Gene & Linda

From the minute I first met my future Father-in-law, he welcomed me into the family with open arms. Jesse was fun, crafty and the light of any event he attended. He had a rare gift that made everyone in his presence feel good. I will miss his laughter, his jokes and the great warmth you always felt when he was in the room. God Bless and rest in peace Jesse !
