Not sure what to say?

I got to know Jesse from Victor's Service Center when he would bring his Jag in for service. He was such a nice person and would make me laugh everytime he came in.

I have great memories of learning how to practice law with Jesse as my mentor. Please accept our condolences.

I worked for Mr. Oppenheimer in the '80s and he had my respect and admiration. He was a man of integrity and wisdom. I am saddened to hear of his passing. I will keep him and his family in my prayers.

I am saddened at the news of Jesse's passing, but am comforted with the memories of the years Jesse and I knew one another. I was a client, and a friend who came to know his family, sharing the hospitality of his ranch and table. My condolences to his family. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult season of life. My life would be much less rich without my having known "Uncle Jesse" as he referred to himself, especially when giving me counsel...

The name Jesse Oppenheimer, to me, has always meant integrity. The world filled with men like Mr.O would be a better place. It was an honor to know him. With this, I send loving thoughts and my deepest sympathy to his family.

My deepest condolences to the Oppenheimer Family for their loss. Jesse, indeed was a man of conviction and deep compassion for the less fortunate. With Jesse you always knew where he stood! San Antonio was blessed for the life of this giant of a man. Thank you Jesse for all the public service and your involvement in people's lives for the better. With a doubt you will always be remembered.

My thoughts are with you and the fond memories are abundant of this wonderful, caring man.
