So sad to hear of Jenness' passing. Jim and I met he and Susan many years ago when they volunteered on the Ocean Isle Beach Sea Turtle patrol. Many, many great memories of spending time on the beach waiting for the hatchlings to emerge. Our deepest sympathy to Susan and their family.

I was so sorry to read about Jeness, I thought of him over the years. I guess because of my Dad Ron Knee because him Jeness had his Ileostomy. May he rest in peace and may you find comfort in your memories.
