Tomorrow is two weeks since you left us. I can't say the pain is any less. I still want to go downstairs to check on you but remember that you're not there. You are such a great dad to me and always cheered me on. No matter what I did, you were proud of me and told me everyday. I miss you dad so much, I know you are in heaven with mom. I'll see you someday, but till then my heart will hurt because I can't see you now or ask for your advice. Thank you dad so much for all the love you've given me and my (our) family. I Love You XO XO

You left our family too soon, but we will always have our memories of the years you were with us. You always told everyone you had 2 daughters, so that will always be special. Dan knew that he was genuinely welcomed into the family 41 years ago and always enjoyed talking with you. He was especially happy that we were able to spend that last weekend with you. LeeAnn and Danny will always have those wonderful memories of the pool table and plop plops. You left us before you could meet your newest great-grandson, Bryce (the first boy on one side of the family in almost 33 years). Your newest great-granddaughter, Rylie won't remember meeting you, but she will be told how much you enjoyed seeing her big smile when you showed and told her "clap the hands". Having you reunited with Bea, my mother, and being brought close to my home will make for happy times bringing flowers and just talking. We know both of you (along with Nanny) are looking after all of us. Judy and I will always be there for each other and will help each other look after our families together. Rest in peace knowing that you were loved and will be greatly missed.

You will certainly be missed Uncle Jess! You were such a light in my life. I was always thrilled to see you and spend time with you. How lucky you are to be reunited with Bea and your brothers. I know you are having a ball catching up. I love you.

Praise the Lord Jesus! Uncle Jess is home after almost 90 years. I will miss him more than can be imagined. When my dad, Glenn, Jess's brother, died in 1977 he told me to "look up uncle Jess". I did and moved here within a month. He quickly became another dad to me, even standing in for my wife Debbie as her father at our wedding. I sat with him as he came out of anesthesia several times after serious operations and his very first response was a finger straight up to the Lord saying "He did it again". What a guy, a war hero, a great dad, husband, uncle grandfather and great grandfather He will be missed and always loved. His wish, shared with me often, was that all his "kid's" would come to know the Lord Jesus Christ.
I pray that the Lord will bless me as I share with our family the service he deserves on Tuesday afternoon.

My Uncle Jess....how fondly I remember him! We were so close....he was my favorite Uncle and he was so good to me.
My father, John, and Uncle Jess were best brother-buddies! I remember being 9 yrs old, sitting in houses under construction in Pennsylvania, while Dad and Uncle Jess worked (they were builders) with my cousin Jesse Jr (Uncle Jess called him Junior!). Junior and I were in a contest to see who would stay quietest the longest! Uncle Jess gave the winner a brand new shiny nickle! Uncle Jess built my first bullrope swing! He held my hand and explained to me that my duck, Lucifer, ran away to 'get married!' when the duck disappeared one night. Uncle Jess always seemed to 'come to the rescue' for me in life. I remember when my husband slipped on the stairs and fell through the sheetrock on the stairwell. Uncle Jess happened to be there and had the hole patched quicker than the broken arm healed. Later Uncle Jess, Dad and I played many rounds of golf together. I was the beginner golfer and played rather slowly. My Uncle became very protective when the foursome behind us hit a ball into us.....He calmly bent down, picked up their ball that missed me by 3 feet and tossed it into the woods! Uncle Jess has always been my Hero! I will miss him so much but I know he is with God and his other deceased family members who he always loved dearly.

I first met my Grandpa Conn at the age of 17. We have grown closer over the years threw phone calls and visits. He is an amazing man that has experienced alot in life. Grandpa always had a family story to tell me that captured my attention and left me with a smile. He was big on our Ireland family roots. Grandpa taught me alot about my family. I love you dearly Grandpa and I will miss you very much. "Coat of Arms" Grandpa, I won't forget. With love your grandson,

Deepest condolences to Judy and family.
Our fondest memories are meeting at various campgrounds around Florida. Also, the joy Ron and Jess got arm wrestling each time they saw each other. Jess always had a strong arm!!!
Jess will be missed but will live on in our hearts.
love, Ron and "Carol"
