Pat, Jesse's passing will never be forgotten by those whose lives he has touched. I'll never forget the adventures we shared flying the "Old Duece" together both in the states and in RVN. Semper Fi and GBU.

Jesse, I am glad that I got to be a part of your life even though it was for a short period, here at DCMA. One day out of the Blue, you gave me a cook book that your sister wrote with all your Moms recipes.

Jesse:
Thanks for helping me to learn about how to fix the helicopter we crewed together in HMH462. You helped to make me a better mechanic and Marine. You touched many peoples lives in many different ways, I was fortunate to be one of them.

Pat,
I only met your once and that was at the pop-a-smoke reunion in fort worth. But i knew Jesse for many years. he and I served together in the Marines and we lived across the street from one another on J-ville, NC. He was a friend and a brother Marine. He made an impression on my life and I will miss him but I know I will see him in heaven guarding the gates. May God bless you.
