We are so shocked and saddened to learn that Jack passed away. We had no idea, as we live in New Hampshire now. Jack and my husband were best friends from the minute we moved in across the street from him and Billie 15 years ago. He was a great man and he meant a lot to us. We will miss him so much.

I had such a wonderful friendship with Mr. Jess for many years.
Mr. Jess was one of my friends that I held close to my heart.
We had lots of great conversations. I am truly heartbroken over his passing. He will never be forgotten! I will miss him extremely.
RIP: Mr. Jess.
