I was deeply saddened to learn of Jesse's passing. He and I were close friends during our High School years but unfortunately, we lost touch after

graduation. Jesse was a good, warm and generous person. I know he will be missed. Please accept my sincerest condolences.

Dear Mrs. Rothstein and Children, Jesse was my friend through the years we spent at Bryant High School. We graduated in 1952 and never saw one another again. I have wondered how he fared over the years. Jesse's obituary was brought to my attention today by another fellow classmate, Sherman Hendel. Please accept my sympathy on the loss of this precious person whom I remember as a really special, good, decent guy. Sincerely, Kay Snowdon
