It is with deepest feeling that we extend our sincere sympathy to Ruth and the family. Jess was more than a Dr. to us, he was a friend and we shall never forget him or his kindness to us.

Jesse was a great friend, and the
last of a rare breed. I will always
remember his willingness to help me
with an ill family member many
years ago, and will certainly miss
his quick witted sense of humor as
well as his smiling face around the
halls of BMC.
May he rest in peace.
