Jesse Dabson

Joan, Tom, Becki, Kathy, and Family:
I was so sad to hear of Jesse's passing. I will always remember him fondly for what a wonderful man he was. The memories of he and my Grandpa Gene at 'The Pit', of seeing him around town, and of the warmth he showed to everyone will stay with us all forever. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love,

Sorry to hear of Jesses death. He was a great man. I will never forget the great laughs we had. He will be missed dearly.My thoughts and prayers will be with all of you.

Sorry to hear of Jesses passing, he was always very nice to me. He was the best Mayor that I have worked for. He always had a story to tell me when he came in the Village Hall and his sense of humor will be something I will never forget. May God watch over you in the days ahead. My prayers are with you.

Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.

Tom, Becki, and Kathy, I am sorry to hear of your father's passing. He was a good mayor to our little town of Pecatonica.

Very often he would have the grass roped off with wooden stakes and string. We were always very careful to stay off the grass. I also remember the HUGE train set up he had in the basement. There was a whole room dedicated to that train set! I'm thankful to have Jesse forever in my memories. Please know that you're in my prayers and covered by God's love.

One of the memories i have of Jesse was when i was a young boy. He had his home built and was working on a limestone retaining wall so he could finish landscaping his yard.
