Diane,
I am so sorry to hear about Jesse's passing - he was much too young to leave this earth.
I don't know if you remember me, but we all used to hang out in the Genetti's parking lot on Railroad Street in Tamaqua back in the mid-70's.
My most heartfelt sympathies to you and your daughter.

Dear Diane,
I am Jesse's cousin, and I am so sorry to say that I never really got to know him as an adult. I can tell from reading the other entires in the guest book that he was respected and well-loved, and I know all his friends and family will miss him. My husband, Gary, and I will keep you and all your family in our hearts and thoughts. May memories of happier times bring you peace, and may you find comfort in knowing that others are thinking of you during this very sad time.
With deepest sympathy -

Dear Diane,
I was very sad to hear about Jesse passing. Even being all the way down here in Texas Jesse and yourself where very much still in our Mobil family. Jesse was such a good person to everyone, and treated us in the control center as family too.
It's coming on that time of year when I call up there and get the lastest news, So sorry that I haven't checked in sooner.
Our family sends it thoughts and prayer's to you and your family. Please know your Mobil family is still with you. May God's strength be with you during this time.

Mom and I were shocked to hear of Jesse's passing. Our thoughts are with all of you and hopefully we will see you soon. Mom is housebound at the moment, so I am not sure I will make it up for the service. I will definitely contact the Animal Rescue League since it is a cause I thoroughly support. Sincerely and with heartfelt sympathy, Aunt Mildred Koch and Cousin Lois Beidler
