April 27, 1941 - May 15, 2021

Jess and I lived next door to each other. We never dated but we were pals and good buddies. Sometimes he would ask my opinion of a girl he wanted to date. He even showed me his "collection" he had in the basement that only his close friends knew about. After re-meeting at a class reunion we became e-mail buddies, exchanging jokes, etc. I miss laughing with him. RIP Jess.
