I will always treasure my little wooden boxes made by Jesse. They have a special place in my home. Also,the beautiful walking stick made so perfect.
I always will remember him for his kind sweet spirit and the wonderful way that he took care of precious Arlene.
How wonderful it is to know that he is sitting at Jesus feet.##imported-begin##June Halladay##imported-end##

Jesse was my brother I will always have many beautiful memories of him.
I regret not having visited more often with him and his family. It seems I always had other things happening, but now wish I had come north to visit. Love to everyone. Joanne##imported-begin##Joanne Earlene Wills Frost##imported-end##
I shall miss my dear daddy so much. He went much too young. He always called me his darling daughter and made me feel so special by loving me unconditionally no matter what. He was a wonderful father--kind, loving, generous, hard working, funny, faithful, loyal, athletic, and honest. He loved his all his family treating everyone fairly regardless of how folks came to be connected. He was generous with his love and his time. He was a fantastic grandpa. I am so grateful at the good memories both he and Arlene gave to Blake and Cole. Dad and I shared a love for photography and scrapbooking, hiking, gardening, music, reading, and, most of all, a fierce love for family and friends past and present. He left behind very little property, choosing instead to leave a legacy of riches in terms of the values and ethics and beliefs--the greatest gifts of all. This man--my darling dad--was a treasure and I am proud to be his daughter. I'll miss you dad. I have your beautiful handcrafted boxes for my treasures, and your handcarved walking sticks to guide me along my journey. And whenever I eat beans and weenies, or flapjacks and fried spuds, I'll think of you!##imported-begin##Kay Cooke##imported-end##

Dad was a wonderful father to me and a fine father-in-law to Teresa. We both love him deeply and and miss him. In the past few years, Dad came every weekend, often with Arlene, to clean the practice and enjoy a cup of coffee with us. We are very happy that we had this time with Dad. We are extremely grateful that Dad placed his faith in Jesus, and we look forward to seeing him in Heaven.

If you talked to Jesse long enough you learned that he had strong opinions in some areas. I will always remember Jesse's dedication to justice and his love for good music, history, and The Federation Forest. He was generous with his home-grown flowers/ vegetables and homemade wood carvings. He was always gentle and kind to me and I loved him. I most enjoyed his passion for justice and determined diligence in keeping his neighborhood all that he believed it should be. All the obnoxious dogs in the neighborhood are a little safer with Jesse's passing but his family will miss him dearly. Teresa##imported-begin##Ted and Teresa Wills##imported-end##
